Drawback is a refund of duty paid on imported products that ultimately get exported. Because Duty Drawback is a process involving the U.S. Customs Service, the process of filing for your Duty Drawback Refund needs to be accurate. As such, a company needs to choose a method of record keeping and calculating that will provide the highest level of accuracy.
