We urge you to reverse the proposed rule limiting excise tax duty drawback.
Our Founders established “duty drawback” in the First Session of the First Congress in 1789, to prevent overtaxing American exporters.
Duty drawback encourages President Trump’s vision of buying American, hiring American, and investing in our country.
But new government regulations threaten this critical program. Ending duty drawback would be a tax on American exporters, American workers, and American consumers.
We urge you to reverse the proposed rule limiting excise tax duty drawback.
The duty drawback program creates good-paying jobs, encourages manufacturing, and incentivizes American exports. Recently, workers who benefit from this critical program wrote letters to President and urged him to preserve this critical program:
I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed regulations submitted by the Treasury Department that include language barring U.S. producers of beer, wine, and distilled spirits from participating in the substitution duty drawback program.
We believe that duty drawback is a critical incentive to invest in America. We represent the countless workers, companies, and communities that benefit from this important program.
We represent the countless workers and communities that rely on the American jobs created by duty drawback, a program that has incentivized investment in American manufacturing since 1789.
We represent the countless workers and communities that rely on the American jobs created by duty drawback and the companies who will use the program to continue creating new jobs for American workers.
