Washington DC-based Cassidy Levy Kent (USA) LLP’s customs practice is closely aligned with its thriving trade policy and trade remedies offering, with the team handling a significant volume of customs matters that straddle antidumping and countervailing duties. The group also advises on customs compliance programs, internal investigations, customs litigation and—more broadly—issues relating to Section 301 China-specific tariffs and Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum products. A customs and trade remedy litigator, Yohai Baisburd is highly regarded for his record in both customs compliance and enforcement work. The customs group also draws on William Baldwin, who is noted for his work in the lumber, steel and consumer goods sectors; and counsel Alexandra Hess, who is a former CPB attorney. On the export controls and economic sanctions side, Ulrika Swanson has experience in representing clients before OFAC, DDTC, and BIS.
