Former IRS customs officers

Customs advisory & consultancy

We clarify valuation issues, taking into account your pricing, marketing, sales and after-sales arrangements, including related-party transactions.

Law & procedure

We clarify customs law and procedure and help you choose the right logistics and clearance approach for your goods.

Liaison with authorities

We represent your interests through the proper channels with customs and related departments.

Support during enquiries & investigations

We guide you through enquiries and investigations by customs and allied agencies, helping you respond accurately and protect your position.

Legacy indirect-tax matters
