The Law Office of Lawrence W. Hanson, P.C. is pleased to
provide legal services to the Customhouse Brokerage community which in turn
serves as the cornerstone for the importing business community.
Mr. Hanson has long provided training to Customhouse Brokers in the form of
in-house training, outside seminars and Customhouse Brokerage exam preparation
courses and materials. We conduct internal legal compliance reviews for
Customhouse Brokers who are serious about ensuring that they comply with the
varied and ever-changing legal requirements for which Customhouse Brokers are
responsible.

Most important of all, The Law Office of Lawrence W. Hanson,
P.C. works closely not only with Customhouse Brokers but also their importing
clients to help assure legal compliance. Importers, their Customhouse
Brokers and the U.S. Customs Service share the common goal of moving admissible
product through Customs with the minimal unnecessary disruption.
While agreement with U.S. Customs as to which disruptions are minimal or
unnecessary is not likely, many of such disruptions, not to mention penalties,
liquidated damage claims, detentions or seizures of merchandise or criminal
sanctions can be avoided with proper attention to legal compliance issues
and Customs planning before importation. At The Law
Office of Lawrence W. Hanson, P.C. we believe that such compliance efforts and
Customs planning would ideally involve both the Customhouse Broker and the
importer working together. Accordingly, while we represent Customhouse
Brokers and importers individually, we strive to represent both Customhouse
Brokers and their importing clients to make assure that their cooperative
efforts are legally sufficient.
