Drawback Legislation
Call 877-347-3479Drawback legislation plays a pivotal role in facilitating international trade by allowing importers a valuable opportunity to recover duties paid on imported goods. In Canada the drawback system is designed to enhance competitiveness, promote exports and support economic growth.
In the context of importing into Canada, drawback refers to the refund of waiver of duties and taxes that was previously paid on imported goods and subsequently exported.
In order to be eligible for drawback, importers must meet specific eligibility criteria.
Canada offers a few types of drawback. Common types include Duty Drawback, GST/HST Drawback and Manufacturing Drawback. Each program has its own set of rules and requirements.
- Duty Drawback: Allows for the refund of customs duties paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported
- GST/HST Drawback: Enables the recovery of the Goods and Sales Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) paid on imported goods that are exported
- Manufactured Drawback: Targets businesses involved in processing imported goods before exportation, providing a way to recover duties on imported components.

Had to get some last minute broker for an LTL shipment coming across the border from the US and Dustin came through with flying colors. I called first thing in the AM and by noon everything was sorted and filed! Couldn’t be happier with the service that was provided.

I've been working with Greenlight Customs Broker for a while now. They came in at a time when I needed the most help. They made the entire customs process smooth and stress-free, which has been a huge help for my business. I can't recommend them enough.
