Duty Drawback, Tariff Refunds & Trade Compliance with Simran Dalvi

In this episode of BITE Pod, Anne Riitho speaks with Simran Dalvi of CITTA Brokerage about one of the most technical — and financially meaningful — areas of trade compliance: duty drawback. Simran breaks down what duty drawback is, how it differs from strategies like bonded warehouses and FTZs, and why companies that import and export may be leaving money on the table. The conversation covers how businesses can identify drawback opportunities, where claims often go wrong, and why documentation, inventory traceability, export records, and cross-functional collaboration are essential to building a defensible program. They also discuss the current tariff environment, growing interest in duty recovery, the role of technology and AI in drawback workflows, and why human judgment still matters in customs compliance. Whether you are new to duty drawback or revisiting your trade compliance strategy, this episode offers practical guidance for importers, exporters, finance teams, logistics teams, and global trade compliance professionals. Topics covered: duty drawback, tariff refunds, customs compliance, CBP documentation, import/export records, inventory traceability, trade compliance technology, duty recovery, and drawback program readiness. bitedata.io [bitedata.io] CITTA Brokerage [https://www.cittabrokerage.com/]
