Background
In most jurisdictions, customs law is
particularly strict, allowing goods to be seized and
penalties imposed even in cases where there has been
no deliberate attempt to avoid taxes or breach prohibitions.
A real risk to businessmen and senior executives is
Customs' ability to instigate criminal proceedings
in cases where they perceive that there has been
"recklessness"
on the part of a director, partner or employee of the
company.
How can we help?
A customs
investigation can be a very difficult
experience for someone who has not
previously been the subject of an in-depth
inquiry. We can provide a client with the customs
expertise and resources necessary
to defend itself against a customs investigation.
In such situations, we would usually work closely with
a
client’s
lawyers so that the best defence
can be presented. Our first
class knowledge of customs law, practice
and procedures enables us to
help a business
reach a satisfactory solution
to such a threat.
