Comprehensive support for each phase of the customs clearance process

Our service combines legal, tax and operational expertise to provide support in every part of the import and export process.

From pre-planning to document review and validation of compliance with regulations and non-tariff restrictions, as well as post-dispatch follow-up, we ensure that each operation is carried out in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework.

We work together to anticipate risks, optimize time and avoid contingencies. That is why we also offer specialized legal advice and legal representation in foreign trade and customs law, with a technical and strategic approach, fully supported by the applicable national and international regulatory framework. Our practice focuses on the defense of importers, exporters and other foreign trade operators against acts and resolutions issued by customs and tax authorities, including determinations of taxes and duties, imposition of penalties, audits, verifications of goods in transport, administrative procedures in customs matters (PAMA) and disputes arising from the application of international trade treaties and agreements.

Our personalized and multidisciplinary approach gives us the opportunity to be a strategic ally for companies at all times.
