Drawback
A refund paid to companies in the import/export business for goods that are just passin’ through their country.
You have mastered the art of snagging must-have Pokémon GO accessories at fire sale prices from online auction sites in exotic foreign locales. And you’ve parlayed your skills into an online resale side hustle you run out of your mom’s basement in Kansas, mostly by tapping into a little known but thriving throng of Pokémon fanatics in Canada.
You benefit from a drawback, because the tax you pay when all your essential swag arrives at your mom’s (smartphone swivel belt clip holders, reflective vests, 3-in-1 pepper spray...not joking here, people really use this stuff for Pokémon GO) can be refunded to you when you send it off to your admirers in the Great White North.
Happily for you, this perk also applies to the import of raw materials that are used to manufacture finished goods. So you’re all set if you want to flex your knack for arts and crafts and build a new addition to the Pokémon GO tool belt—or better yet, create one super tool to rule them all with your imported treasures to keep those Canadians on their toes.
