How Duty Drawbacks Work 1) U.S. car manufacturer issues purchase order to German parts manufacturer.

3) German parts shipped via ocean enter U.S. port; importer pays duty at port of entry to U.S. Customs. 4) U.S. manufacturer produces cars using U.S.-made and German parts.

5) U.S. manufacturer ships cars to port of export; files documentary proof of original import and subsequent manufacture to collect refund.

2) German manufacturer receives purchase order; manufactures parts.

6) Export cars containing U.S.-made and German parts to Australia; provide proof of export to U.S. Customs.
