The proper tariff classification of goods is a critical element
in the customs entry process. By law and pursuant to 19 U.S.C. §1484, the importer is
responsible for using reasonable care when entering, classifying
and valuing imported merchandise, and also, for
providing any other information necessary for Customs to properly
assess duties, collect trade statistics and to determine whether
all other applicable legal requirements have been met.
The failure of an importer of record to exercise reasonable care
in the importation of merchandise can delay its release and, in
some cases, result in the imposition of penalties.
We assist importers to correctly classify merchandise and
thereby avoid costly penalties. Importers can also
realize significant savings by reductions in duty through the
reclassification of imported goods.
We also assist importers to prepare and submit requests for
binding rulings to Customs concerning the classification of
merchandise, and to challenge post importation rate increases
though the administrative protest procedure.
We also litigate classification issues before the Court of
International Trade whenever necessary to ensure that our clients
are treated fairly by Customs.
