Cynthia (Cindi) Wu is the Founder and Managing Partner of Concord & Wisdom, APC, a law firm focused on U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) and international trade, cross-border compliance, and cross-border tax and estate planning. She also co-founded Ameriglobal, LLC, a U.S. customs brokerage, enabling an integrated service model that combines legal strategy with brokerage-level execution for clients navigating time-sensitive import issues.
CBP & International Trade Practice
Cynthia advises importers, exporters, logistics operators, and cross-border businesses on high-stakes CBP matters where speed, evidence discipline, and consistency across stakeholders determine outcomes. Her work commonly involves:
IEEPA Tariff refund strategy and implementation planning, including portfolio-level data organization and procedural road-mapping
Detentions, examinations, holds, and cargo release strategies, including evidence package development and agency-facing submissions
UFLPA compliance and forced-labor hold response, including supplier documentation frameworks and risk narratives
Seizures, forfeiture-related matters, and penalty exposure (including mitigation strategy and settlement positioning)
Classification, valuation, country-of-origin/marking disputes, and import compliance risk management
Recordkeeping and audit readiness, focusing on building defensible documentation trails that survive scrutiny
Cynthia’s approach is business-first and compliance-sound: she emphasizes early triage, clear issue framing, and practical pathways that minimize the combined cost of delay, storage exposure, enforcement risk, and reputational impact.
Cross-Border Investment, Structuring & Private Client Planning
In parallel, Cynthia advises Chinese founders and high-net-worth families on U.S. investment landing and structuring, including entity formation and holding structures, governance planning, transaction documentation, and cross-border wealth transfer planning. Her practice frequently involves coordinating U.S. legal, tax, and compliance considerations for clients with assets, family members, and operations spanning multiple jurisdictions.
-
Cynthia has completed advanced legal education in China and the United States, including a U.S. Juris Doctor (J.D.) and an LL.M. in Taxation, and she holds multiple U.S. bar admissions, including California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, D.C. She is also a California Certified Estate Planning Specialist. She works extensively with Chinese-speaking clients and routinely handles matters requiring cross-border cultural and business fluency.
