Duty Reclaim

Improved cash flow from duty reclaim
Having dealt with eCommerce retailers for many years. UKP Worldwide recognises how vital it is that cash is not tied up unnecessarily. Did you know that you can reclaim customs duties and taxes paid on goods that are returned? At UKP Worldwide, our Duty Reclaim service is designed to recover duty paid by your business efficiently and effectively thus enhancing your cashflow.

Whether you’re an eCommerce retailer, a logistics provider, or a distributor, this service allows you to boost your bottom line by turning returns into financial opportunities—without the hassle of navigating complex customs procedures.

What Is Duty Reclaim?

Duty reclaim is the process of recovering customs duties and taxes paid on imported goods that are subsequently returned by your customers. If these goods don’t remain in the country of import and are re-exported, the duty and tax are often eligible for reimbursement—but only if the claim is processed correctly and on time.

Many businesses are unaware of this opportunity or find the process too complex to manage in-house. That’s where UKP Worldwide comes in.
