For a global apparel brand, SIMS mapped the full import-to-export chain on goods re-exported from the United States back to the EU and built a direct-identification drawback program CBP would stand behind. The result: more than $1.05 million in duty drawback, approved and filed, with disbursement pending.
Where duty was overpaid or a lawful mitigation program was never claimed, SIMS establishes feasibility from your own transaction data, then implements the program and prepares the filings. Identification is the first step, not the deliverable.

Do you guarantee a recovery?
No. Recovery outcomes are fact-dependent and decided by the agency. Recovery engagements may use a separate commercial model, documented before work begins.
