Provide counsel on import and export activities, including regulatory obligations, documentation expectations, and operational compliance considerations.

Evaluate tariff classifications, customs valuation questions, and duty treatment to help the business manage exposure and improve decision-making.

Support matters involving duty relief programs, free trade agreement eligibility, and rules of origin determinations.

Interpret new or changing trade regulations and convert them into clear, practical guidance for leaders and cross-functional stakeholders.

Review products and transactions for potential anti-dumping and countervailing duty impact, including analysis of whether goods fall within the applicable scope.

Monitor U.S. and international export control and trade requirements to identify developments that may affect the organization.

Help strengthen customs compliance processes by identifying opportunities to streamline procedures, improve controls, and create more proactive legal support.

Respond quickly to internal legal and compliance questions, outlining risks, options, and recommended next steps in a concise and business-focused manner.

Requirements

Active law license and 5+ years of demonstrated experience practicing in customs, international trade, or trade compliance law.

Strong knowledge of import and export regulations, tariff classification, customs valuation, and related trade frameworks.

Experience advising on free trade agreements, rules of origin, duty mitigation strategies, or similar customs planning matters.

Ability to assess anti-dumping and countervailing duty issues and interpret product scope applicability.

Proven skill in translating complex legal and regulatory topics into practical guidance for non-legal stakeholders.

Strong analytical judgment and the ability to identify process improvements that support both compliance and business efficiency.
