When you need a licensed customs broker
Preparing and filing documents with CBP on behalf of an importer, including corrections and protests, is customs business that requires a license. If your existing broker can handle it, use them. If you do not have one, or yours is not handling refund work, we can introduce you to one.
When you need an attorney
- A protest was denied and the next step is the U.S. Court of International Trade
- Your entries are finally liquidated and recovery depends on litigation
- CBP's position on your claim is contested and legal argument is required
Court filing windows are limited. If your situation points to an attorney, do not wait on our review to act.
How introductions work
- We only share your information with a broker or firm when you ask us to.
- We send them your review summary and the records you gave us.
- They contact you directly. Any engagement and any fee is set out in their own written agreement with you.
You are never required to use a professional we introduce. Before any introduction, we will tell you whether we receive any compensation in connection with it.
