Old Subsidy Drawback Rules

The specific regulations established under the original subsidy act that governed the recovery of duties upon exportation, including provisions that allowed merchants to draw back half the duty on exports made within specified timeframes (twelve months for English merchants, nine months for aliens). These rules represented the foundational framework for drawback administration in British trade policy.
