Common use of Duty Drawback and Minimization Clause in Contracts

Duty Drawback and Minimization. In the countries where Nortel Networks maintains a duty drawback program, Flextronics shall provide Nortel Networks with a quarterly report of part numbers and import duties paid or refunded (at entry and through subsequent adjustment) on behalf of Nortel Networks for all deliveries in country and for which Nortel Networks may become a subsequent exporter entitled to duty drawback. Flextronics shall provide a duty drawback waiver on the appropriate form for duty paid on any materials imported by Flextronics and used or consumed in the manufacture of Products supplied to Nortel Networks. Nortel Networks shall provide guidelines to Flextronics with respect to the data required to be provided by Flextronics. In the countries in which Nortel Networks does not currently maintain a duty drawback program, the Parties shall work together with a view to implementing a similar duty drawback program as soon as practicable and as mutually deemed required. When Nortel Networks determines that duties warrant a drawback claim, Flextronics shall provide all necessary and relevant data and/or documentation and shall cooperate with Nortel Networks in pursuing the claim. Flextronics will cooperate with Nortel Networks in any audit relating to this Section. Similarly, when Flextronics determines that duties warrant a drawback claim, Nortel Networks shall provide all necessary and relevant data and/or documentation and shall cooperate with Flextronics in pursuing the claim. In either case, the costs of preparing and filing the drawback claim will be borne by the parties in proportion to their relative drawback benefits and Nortel Networks will cooperate with Flextronics in any audit relating to this Section. Flextronics will utilize duty minimization programs such as inward and outward processing relief, ATA Carnets (An international customs document that permits duty-free and tax-free temporary import of goods for up to one year), and temporary imports to mitigate duty costs to Nortel Networks. Duty minimization programs will be reviewed and agreed by both parties. Flextronics shall not be required to pursue a specific duty minimization program if that program is unlikely to yield savings greater than the cost of implementing it.
