The Australian Government has a number of assistance schemes operating for industry operating in overseas markets. The Duty Drawback scheme allows exporters to claim back the duty paid on the imported components of goods when these components form part of an export product. The system is designed to reduce costs for exporters and a drawback claim can be lodged within a 4 year period from the date the goods were exported, if you have exported the time frame may still allow you to claim duty back from the Federal Government.
