Customs Attorney in Miami, Florida and Long Beach, California
Helping individuals recover money seized by U.S. Customs
Since the passage of the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA 2000), U.S. Customs officials have made thousands of money seizures and currency seizures from persons entering and departing the United States without completing the currency reporting forms. Our customs lawyers are aware of $2,368,754.92 seized by U.S. Customs. But we are also aware that $2,014,363.52 of this amount was refunded as of September 13, 2010. A U.S. Department of Justice report dated December 10, 2004, found that approximately 95 percent of the 168 currency seizures of funds were forfeited to the government because the persons had no legal counsel.
Our customs attorneys want to be your legal counsel to get your money back for you; refund of 100% Customs Duties.
U.S. Appeals Court Finds Beef Hormone Retaliation Violates U.S. Law
A United States appeals court this week ruled that retaliatory duties imposed on imports from the European Union in a fight over market access for U.S. beef have been in place illegally since July 2007 because the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative failed to meet the procedural requirements of the underlying law.
There is $350 Million available to importers who have paid 100% retaliation duties
Our client, Gilda Industries, Inc., successfully sued the United States for the refund of the 100% Customs duties it paid on its imports since July 29, 2007. Since this date Customs has collected $350 million dollars from importers of products from the EC subject to the Beef Hormone Retaliation List. The only way these importers can obtain the refunds of these duties with interest is to file a complaint in the U. S. Court of International Trade. With our expertise in filing these complaints, we are available for consultation on the process.
