International Trade

Additional Specialties

• Customs & Import Tariffs
  We help U.S. and international companies understand and manage the rules that govern importation of products into the United States, including HTSUS classification, valuation, and country of origin. We work with clients to anticipate and mitigate the impact of changing tariff policies and enforcement priorities on their supply chains and pricing and pursue available duty‑savings strategies and preference programs, as well as evaluate opportunities for tariff relief and refunds under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”).
• Export Controls & Sanctions
  We counsel businesses and institutions on the regulations that govern U.S. export controls and sanctions on goods, software, technology, services, and other transactions, including under the ITAR and EAR enforced by DDTC and BIS, and economic sanctions administered by OFAC. We also help clients with export classifications, licensing and license exceptions, restricted party screening, and the design and implementation of compliance programs tailored to each client’s business model and risk profile.
• CFIUS & Foreign Investment
  We advise businesses and investors on foreign investment restrictions and reviews in the U.S., including when transactions may fall under the jurisdiction of CFIUS or the outbound investment screening program. We help parties assess whether a deal is likely to raise national security questions, determine whether a filing is mandatory or advisable, and prepare and submit filings to obtain clearance. We also assist with responding to reviewing agencies, negotiating mitigation agreements, and integrating foreign investment risk assessment into overall transaction strategy and long-term investment planning.
• Trade Litigation & Trade Remedies
  We represent companies and industries in disputes and proceedings arising from U.S. trade laws, including cases brought before the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We counsel on trade remedy tariffs such as Section 301 and Section 232 duties, including developing tariff‑mitigation strategies, preparing written submissions, and advocating for clients in agency proceedings and trade policy. We also advise on matters involving antidumping and countervailing duty ("AD/CVD") cases before the relevant agencies and courts.
