Export Controls & Economic Sanctions
Schulz Trade Law helps businesses navigate complex U.S. export regulations and economic sanctions, ensuring compliance with laws like the EAR, ITAR, and OFAC regulations to mitigate legal risks and maintain global market access. Our team provides guidance on licensing, classification, Voluntary Self-Disclosures (VSDs), and sanctions compliance to keep your operations secure.
Customs & Import Compliance
We assist companies in managing U.S. customs regulations, minimizing risks of penalties and delays by ensuring proper tariff classification, country of origin determination, and duty-saving strategies. Our team also supports clients in customs audits, Prior Disclosures (PDs), and compliance with trade remedies like AD/CVD and Section 301 tariffs.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Schulz Trade Law provides strategic counsel to help businesses comply with the FCPA through due diligence, risk assessments, and employee training. We assist clients with internal investigations, Voluntary Self-Disclosures (VSDs), and representation before the DOJ to mitigate bribery and corruption risks in global operations.
Due Diligence
Our firm conducts comprehensive due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and international transactions, ensuring compliance with trade laws and sanctions regulations. We provide supply chain risk assessments, ownership screenings, and regulatory reviews to help businesses make informed and compliant decisions.
First Sale Valuation
The first sale rule is a proven strategy for reducing the impact of import tariffs, including those imposed under Sections 201, 232, and 301. The first sale rule allows U.S. importers to pay customs duties on the lower-priced sale from the manufacturer to a middleman or vendor in qualifying multi-tiered transactions, rather than on the higher-priced sale from the vendor to the importer.
