Partner Government Agencies
Customs is charged with ensuring that United States laws and regulations administered by other agencies are applied properly to imports. There are more than 30 partner government agencies whose laws and regulations apply to imports. These include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and many more. It is crucial to be prepared for Partner Government Agency requirements and, when necessary, to address any compliance issues promptly and properly. Barnes, Richardson & Colburn attorneys can help you avoid Partner Government Agency problems and address them if they arise.
