Disclosure & Disclaimer. All Complex Cargo Intel digital products are educational guidance, not legal or customs-broker advice. Regulatory citations reflect 19 CFR Part 190 (Modernized Drawback under TFTEA); 19 CFR Part 191 is obsolete for new claims and is not cited. All claims are filed electronically in ACE — CBP Form 7551 is no longer submitted. CBP Form 7553 (Notice of Intent to Export/Destroy) is current. The drawback privilege application has no fixed CBP form number — it is a template letter containing required data elements. Any dollar-recovery figures or eligibility thresholds are illustrative ranges, not guaranteed outcomes. Readers should confirm current requirements directly with CBP or a licensed customs broker before filing.
