Customs & Customs Clearance

The Idea

Disputes with customs usually concern the value of the goods, their tariff classification or the documents, and every day of delay adds storage costs and penalties. We review the file quickly and determine whether the answer lies in an administrative grievance, the dispute-resolution committees provided for in Customs Law No. 207 of 2020, or the courts.

What We Do

• Grievances against customs valuation and tariff classification before the competent committees.
• Follow-up of customs release and remedying missing documents.
• Exemption requests and special customs regimes (temporary admission and duty drawback).
• Defense in customs smuggling cases and settlement requests.
• Judicial challenges to customs decisions.
• Reviewing import contracts and delivery terms (Incoterms) for their customs impact.

How We Work with You

We begin with a consultation, in person or remotely, followed by a written opinion on your position, then a written fee agreement defining the scope, and periodic written reports as the file progresses. See the full engagement steps.
