Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse 'drawback' with 'setback'. A 'drawback' is a negative feature that exists from the start and is part of something. A 'setback' is a problem that happens later and slows progress. For example: 'The drawback of this job is the low pay' (correct) vs. 'We had a setback when the machine broke' (not 'drawback'). Also, 'drawback' is almost always singular when talking about one negative feature and is usually used with 'a' or 'the' (e.g., 'a drawback', 'the main drawback').

Erro comum:
Learners may think this meaning is the same as the everyday sense of 'disadvantage'. In trade and tax documents, 'drawback' often means a refund of duties, which is a positive payment, not something negative.
Significado
refund of customs duties
Colocações
duty drawback
|tax drawback
|customs drawback
|claim a drawback
|drawback scheme
Sinónimos
rebate (A broader financial term for money paid back after payment; 'drawback' is more specific to customs and import duties.)

refund (General term for money returned; does not itself imply the customs or tax context that 'drawback' usually has.)
Antónimos
surcharge (An additional charge added to a basic price or tax, the opposite of getting money back.)
