OEM Manufacturer Seeks Duty Drawback for Non-Compliant Import Under Article 74 of Customs Act 1962; Plans Re-Export Process An OEM manufacturer faced issues with an imported machine accessory not meeting specifications and sought advice on re-exporting it as a purchase return. Experts suggested using Article 74 of the Customs Act 1962, which allows for re-export with duty drawback, provided the goods are in original condition and re-exported within two years. The process involves preparing specific documentation and possibly obtaining a GR waiver from the bank. Additional considerations included handling delays, related party transactions, and ensuring compliance with banking and customs regulations for re-export without replacement or re-import.
