AI Duty Drawback Stop Leaving Refunds on the Table
Zollback's AI duty drawback platform uses proprietary algorithms to recover 15–20% more than legacy providers — processing claims in 10–15 working days instead of 9–12 months. No upfront fees.
Why Most Drawback Programs Underperform
Algorithms Beat Excel Every Time
Legacy providers use 20-year-old desktop software to manually match imports to exports, missing combinations that a computer would find instantly — and costing you 15–20% of your potential refund.
Nine Months to See a Dollar
The industry standard for duty drawback processing is 9–12 months. Manual data entry, spreadsheet workflows, and offshore teams create bottlenecks that keep your cash locked up for almost a year.
80% of Eligible Claims Go Unfiled
Nationally, an estimated 80% of eligible import duty refunds go unclaimed each year. For most companies, that isn't a policy problem — it's an execution problem that AI is built to solve.
Algorithmic Optimization Meets Licensed Expertise
Zollback combines AI document parsing, proprietary refund optimization algorithms, and in-house licensed customs brokers to recover the maximum refund — then files directly with CBP via certified ABI software. The result is 15–20% more recovered in 10–15 working days, with no upfront fees. Duty drawback finally works the way it should.
AI Duty Drawback Built for Maximum Recovery
Five capabilities that separate algorithmic drawback from manual methods — from document ingestion to continuous monitoring.
