CKD lowers your tariff bill, but the duty you do pay can still tie up working capital for months. Two tools — duty drawback and bonded warehousing — help you recover or defer that cash. Here is how they work for gas stove kit importers.
Duty drawback is a refund of import duty already paid, claimed when the imported goods are subsequently re-exported. If your assembly operation sells finished stoves to a neighboring market, the duty paid on the imported kit components can often be claimed back on the portion that is re-exported. Many importers leave this money unclaimed simply because they never set up the process.
A bonded warehouse lets you store imported CKD kits without paying duty until the goods are withdrawn for local sale. Instead of paying duty on a full container the moment it lands, you pay it in stages as kits are pulled for assembly. For a growing operation, this can free substantial cash flow.
These schemes are far easier to claim when your import documentation is clean from the first shipment — accurate kit BOMs, HS codes, and re-export records. THREEMI supplies gas stove CKD kits with clear component lists and export documentation that support duty drawback and bonded warehouse applications, helping you keep more working capital in the business.
