Duty drawback

The term drawback is applied to a certain amount of duties of Customs/central excise, some times the whole, some times only a part remitted or paid by Government on the exportation of the commodities on which they were levied. To entitle goods to drawback, they must be exported to a foreign port, the object of the relief afforded by the Drawback being to enable the goods to be disposed of in the foreign market as if they had never been taxed at all. For Customs purpose drawback means the refund of duty of customs and duty of central Excise that are chargeable on imported and indigenous materials used in the manufacture of Exported goods.
