Marshall’s CBP and trade practice includes advising on customs compliance and dispute pathways, including classification, valuation, country-of-origin determinations, administrative protests, drawback planning, and enforcement-related matters such as cargo holds and seizures. He also works on matters involving IEEPA tariff refunds and the practical mechanics of recovery within the customs system. He has passed the U.S. Customs Broker exam and has applied for a customs broker license.
