Customs

The natural extension of export controls: correctly classify, value and declare your flows.

A twin discipline of export controls

The same flow must comply with export controls and be correctly handled in customs. Tariff classification, value and origin determine duties, controls and eligibility for the most advantageous regimes.

Special procedures (processing, customs warehousing) offer real cash-flow and competitiveness levers, if mastered. In an audit or reassessment, a structured defence makes the difference.

FAQ

Why a lawyer for customs?

Because the stakes and the interplay with export controls require a legal, not merely declarative, approach.

What is a BTI?

Binding tariff information: an administration decision securing a good's classification.

Customs and export controls, the same?

No, but they overlap: a good may be free in customs and controlled for export, or vice versa.
