According to the , eligibleExport goods can apply for a refund of part or all of the tariffs paid during the import process. This policy covers many fields such as manufacturing, agriculture, and high technology, but the specific tax rates vary depending on the category of goods.

In addition, states may also provide additional subsidies.subsidies or tax incentives. For example, California has a special tax rebate program for the export of clean energy products. Companies need to comprehensively evaluate the tax rebate space in combination with federal and state policies, and pay attention to dynamic adjustments in policies. For example, goods on the list of additional tariffs imposed on China in recent years may be excluded from the scope of tax rebates.

In terms of value-added tax, although the United States does not have a national value-added tax,Sales tax is levied in some states. Export companies can apply for exemption or reduction through the "Sales Tax Exemption Certificate".

Enterprises need to accurately split tax costs to avoid reporting errors.

Using an ERP system to automatically match HS codes and tax rates, or using blockchain technology to trace logistics documents, can reduce human errors.
