Electronic Drawback Filing via Certified ABI Software
Since 2019, CBP requires all drawback claims filed electronically through ACE via ABI. Zollback files directly — no third-party broker delays, no paper.
Direct ACE Filing Without the Middleman
Since February 2019, all U.S. duty drawback claims must be filed electronically through ACE via certified ABI software — paper claims are no longer accepted. Many drawback services prepare your paperwork but hand off actual filing to a third-party broker, adding weeks of delay and extra cost. Zollback is a certified ABI filer with a vertically integrated platform: AI-powered data preparation, licensed customs broker review, and direct electronic submission to CBP under one roof.
Direct ACE Filing Without the Middleman
DIRECT ACE INTEGRATION
File Directly to CBP via ABI
Zollback holds its own ABI certification, meaning claims travel directly from our optimization engine to CBP's ACE system. The DE record submits your claim data; the DX record captures CBP's response in real time — no intermediary broker required.
- Certified ABI filer status
- DE and DX record handling
- No third-party filing delays
DATA COMPLIANCE
Automated CATAIR-Compliant Data Formatting
Every claim must conform to CBP's CATAIR specification before it can be accepted through ABI. Zollback automatically formats all claim data to CATAIR requirements, eliminating the manual formatting work that stalls traditional filers and causes silent rejections.
- Automatic CATAIR formatting
- Eliminates manual specification work
- Reduces silent rejections at CBP
ERROR PREVENTION
Pre-Submission Validation Before CBP
Zollback validates every claim against CBP business rules before the DE record is transmitted. Errors are caught and corrected upstream — before they reach ACE — reducing rejection rates and protecting your processing timeline.

- Errors caught before transmission
- Accelerated approval timelines
