I am being charged with customs law violation. What should I do?

Hello. You must be very anxious about being charged with customs law violation.

Customs law violation can result in criminal punishment or administrative fines depending on intent or negligence, and imprisonment may be imposed depending on the severity of the case.

Even if the documents were prepared by an agency, you often bear the final responsibility, so quick response is necessary.

In particular, false reporting, underreporting, and item classification errors are matters that customs handles strictly.

First, it is important to organize the documents or notifications received from customs.

Before being investigated, you must accurately understand the relevant facts and organize your position, and you must receive the assistance of an attorney.

Caution is needed because the choice of expression or terminology when submitting a written statement of circumstances can be interpreted unfavorably.

If necessary, a criminal specialist attorney, customs specialist attorney, or customs specialist with customs broker qualifications can accompany you to the investigation and provide legal advice.

If you want detailed consultation, please contact our firm, which provides legal consultation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
