Alston & Bird may be the only full service law firm in the United States with several partners and senior lawyers heavily engaged in the practice of customs law. We regularly represent clients in enforcement actions, administrative proceedings, litigation, audits and compliance matters. We also help clients to structure transactions, make sourcing decisions and utilize duty savings programs to maximize the benefits of international trade, as well as advocate on behalf of our clients in legislative and policy matters.

We represent the full spectrum of clients—not only importers, but also customs brokers, freight forwarders, carriers, bonded warehouse and foreign trade zone operators, and trade associations—in all aspects of tariff disputes, penalty cases, prior disclosures, binding ruling requests and customs audits. We also provide clients strategic supply chain advice and internal compliance program development. We specialize in complex free trade agreement matters and are skilled at the intersection of customs regulations and the regulations of other agencies, such as the increasingly prevalent product safety rules impacting imports. Over our many years of practice, we have collectively saved or recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in duties for our clients.

We also recognize that our clients operate in a global marketplace and our business requires that we maintain professional relationships with local customs law experts worldwide. Through our relationships with our Lex Mundi partners and other law firms around the world, we provide advice to clients on customs and related issues that arise in other countries.

Finally, Alston & Bird is proud to offer a nationally-renowned U.S. Customs Broker licensing examination preparation class. For over 20 years, we have prepared hundreds of students all over the country. For more information on our A&B Broker Class, please click here.
