Unfair Trade Practices
Ultimately, international trade is often tied to competitiveness. Are foreign markets open to your exports? Are your competitors able to import goods into the United States at an unfair price or in an unfairly increased volume? Is a domestic supplier trying to cut off your ability to import goods into the United States? Addressing these issues requires one to work with the government on a wide variety of levels. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the Department of Commerce (DOC) may help open foreign markets. Unfair trade actions are subject to review by the DOC and the International Trade Commission (ITC), with remedial duties (ADD, CVD) collected by CBP. Thompson Coburn attorneys have the broad base of trade experience necessary to deal with this extensive range of issues and agencies.
