Customs Attorney in Dallas

Customs Legal Issues in Dallas

At the Mathur Law Offices, P.C., we help our clients to avoid costly mistakes while engaged in international business transactions by keeping them up-to-date and in compliance with customs issues. A Dallas civil law attorney can help your business to steer clear of trouble and resolve any disputes that arise over customs.

Just as an example, sending large amounts of money in excess of ten thousand dollars, in and out of the country requires that you file a report with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP Publication No. 0000-0503). If you neglect to do this, you can be in for civil and criminal penalties and your funds may be seized. Our lead attorney, Sanjay Mathur, has the experience in resolving customs problems for clients in a wide range of issues. More importantly, we advise our business clients on how to avoid difficulties with this federal agency.

Dallas Civil Lawyer Helping with Customs Valuations

The amount of money that constitutes dutiable value on goods imported into the United States is based on a calculation of their purchasing cost at the point of origin. This is another area where we can help our clients by ensuring that the dutiable value is not in fact greater than it should be. We also help clients with any seizures by customs, which can halt your production and create serious problems if not resolved quickly.

Seizures by customs can be challenged in appeals courts and we assist our business clients by fighting to get their property returned and allowed through customs. As this type of legal issue will cost your business money while they are being resolved, it is best to have a lawyer with knowledge and experience to advise you in your international business transactions. If you are caught up in any type of customs legal issue, we have the experience and contacts within the system to fight to get it resolved as fast as possible.
