The Tariff Refunds You Didn't Know Existed
do this now, get money back on duties you've already paid
Let me shoot you straight – there's a pile of cash sitting on the table that your Shopify brand is probably ignoring.
Tariffs, customs, and duties have NEVER had more attention than they do right now. With all the global trade tensions, supply chain disruptions, and policy changes, these costs are front and center for every business that imports or exports.
I'm talking about duty drawbacks. And before your eyes glaze over, let me tell you why this boring-sounding concept could be worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to your bottom line – money you can claim going back a full 5 years.
Here's the deal – if you're importing products or materials and then later exporting them (or sometimes even destroying them), you're likely eligible to get a refund on those import duties you paid.
But here's the truth bomb: 97% of eligible businesses never claim these refunds.
Why? Because the process is a bureaucratic nightmare. We're talking government paperwork that would make your accountant curl up in the fetal position.
This is where Evana comes in clutch. They've built a system that does all the heavy lifting for Shopify brands to recover these funds.
Think about it – you're already paying these import duties. They're a cost of doing business. But what if you could get a significant chunk of that money BACK?
That's not an expense reduction. That's found money.
How It Actually Works
The process with Evana is dead simple:
They analyze your import/export data
They identify all eligible drawback opportunities
They handle all the paperwork and government interactions
You get a check in the mail
No need to hire specialized staff or become an international trade law expert. Evana handles everything.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Let me put this in perspective:
A mid-sized Shopify brand importing $1M in goods might pay $50,000-$100,000 in duties annually. If 30% of those goods eventually get exported (either as-is or as components in finished products), you could be looking at $15,000-$30,000 in recoverable funds.
Every. Single. Year.
And many Evana clients are recovering even more.
Why TODAY Is The Best Day To Act
Here's the kicker – there's a time limit on claiming these drawbacks. You can only claim them for imports made within the past 5 years.
Let me repeat that: FIVE YEARS of potential refunds are sitting there waiting for you.
Which means every day you wait is literally leaving money on the table that you can never get back. Money from 2020 is about to expire. That's cash disappearing from your pocket in real-time.
Plus, with the economic headwinds we're facing and these unprecedented tariff situations, finding creative ways to improve cash flow isn't just smart – it's essential for survival. The companies that get ahead on their duty drawbacks NOW will have a serious competitive advantage.
The Bottom Line
Look, I've been in the e-commerce space for years, and I've seen countless "hacks" and "game-changers." Most are BS.
But duty drawbacks are different. This is literally the government owing YOU money.
And Evana has built the simplest way to get that money back in your bank account where it belongs.
Don't sleep on this opportunity. If you're running a Shopify brand that imports and exports, you'd be crazy not to at least see what you're eligible for.
Check out Evana today, and tell them Parker sent you. Your bottom line will thank you.
