Customs and Duties

International commercial expansion can sometimes involve significant challenges in terms of customs.

BCF’s customs experts guide our clients through various potential and actual customs challenges to enable them to take full advantage of ever-changing international markets. Our team’s years of experience dealing with the Canada Border Services Agency ensures that our clients receive the timely support they require when their goods and services cross the border. We negotiate with customs authorities on behalf of our clients in the event of an audit and, when necessary, defend their interests in court. We take care of the legal aspects of planning commercial operations with foreign partners, restructuring activities, or reorganising international structures so that our clients can focus on their global growth.
