What is Duty Drawback?

Duty Drawback is a refund or rebate of customs duties paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported, destroyed, or used for manufacturing products that are eventually exported. The purpose of duty drawback is to encourage the export of finished goods, promote local manufacturing, and support businesses by offering financial relief from duties paid on non-consumed imports.

In Nigeria, the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) allows businesses to reclaim customs duties paid on goods that are imported for specific purposes but are not used domestically. These goods might be re-exported, utilized in the production of goods that will eventually be exported, or destroyed under specific conditions. Cargoburg Logistics Limited helps businesses navigate this process and ensures that all the necessary paperwork and procedures are followed so that your company can benefit from this financial incentive.

How Duty Drawback Works

The duty drawback process in Nigeria is based on compliance with the guidelines set by the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS). Cargoburg Logistics Limited acts as an intermediary between your business and the Nigerian Customs authorities, helping you to claim refunds on the duties you paid for imported goods that meet the required criteria for drawback. The following steps are typically involved in the duty drawback process:

1. Eligibility Determination

Not all imports are eligible for a duty drawback. Cargoburg helps determine whether the imported goods qualify for a duty refund. Generally, goods that are imported for the purpose of being re-exported or used in the manufacturing of export products may qualify. Our team reviews your import records, assesses the goods in question, and ensures they meet the necessary criteria set by the Nigerian Customs Service.

2. Filing the Application

Once eligibility is established, the next step involves submitting a duty drawback application to the Nigerian Customs Service. Cargoburg handles all the documentation and filing required for this process. We work closely with you to gather the necessary paperwork, such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, proof of exportation, and any other supporting documents that Customs requires to process the drawback request.

3. Customs Audit and Verification

After submitting your application, the Nigerian Customs Service will conduct an audit to verify the details of your claim. This includes confirming that the goods in question have been exported, destroyed, or used in the manufacturing of export products. Cargoburg assists you in managing this audit process, ensuring that all documentation is complete and accurate, and that any potential issues are addressed in a timely manner.

4. Receiving the Refund

Once the Nigerian Customs Service approves your application and confirms the eligibility of your goods, they will issue a refund of the duties paid on the imported goods. Cargoburg ensures that the refund process is completed smoothly, and we assist you in tracking the progress of your claim, ensuring that you receive the appropriate duty refund within the expected time frame.
