We’re in uncertain times for trade. That means more scrutiny at the border.

Companies engaged in international commerce should take note of increased enforcement at the border which can result in costly government investigations and penalty actions.  Because of the increased government scrutiny, it is critical for companies to be up to speed on growing trade compliance demands to avoid penalties and disruptions to their supply chains. Companies should be confident that they have exercised “reasonable care” in the classification and valuation of their imported products and should be aware of risks in their supply chains. Evelyn Suarez is a well-recognized, experienced and well-known customs and international trade lawyer with an in-depth knowledge of the complexities of customs law.  Compliance lapses can affect your company’s reputation and bottom line and cause unnecessary disruption to your business. 

Ms. Suarez’s background serving the U.S. Customs Service (now known as Customs & Border Protection or CBP), combined with decades in private law practice including as a private sector advisor to the U.S. Government on customs and trade facilitation, allows her to bring in-depth knowledge and well-rounded experience to the table.

In these uncertain times, you need an experienced professional on your side.
