This will help businesses navigate the complex process more easily and ensure that they receive the refunds they are entitled to.
Additionally, the bill aims to reduce the administrative burden on businesses by allowing them to submit duty drawback claims electronically, rather than through paper forms. This will help expedite the process and make it more efficient for businesses to receive their refunds.
Overall, the Duty Drawback Clarification Act is designed to make the duty drawback process more user-friendly and efficient for businesses, ultimately helping to promote trade and economic growth in the United States.
