Presented by: 

Michael T. Cone, Customs, International Trade, and Regulatory Compliance Attorney, Partner at FisherBroyles, LLP

Mr. Cone practices in the areas of administrative, customs, and international trade law.  He counsels clients on a broad array of regulatory compliance issues falling under the jurisdiction of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Food and Drug Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Federal Trade Commission, and other federal agencies whose regulations apply to merchandise in international trade.  He represents companies in importer-initiated actions seeking customs duty recoveries, as well as government-initiated actions where he defends companies against claims for customs duties and administrative penalties.  He also represents clients in general commercial litigation before state and federal courts when disputes arise from international transactions.

In the tariff arena, Mr. Cone helps companies save on customs duties and other government fees through readily available strategies such as tariff engineering, classification reviews, administrative protests, sourcing from regions that have a preferential trade agreement with the U.S., Foreign Trade Zone utilization, duty drawback programs, first-sale planning, buying agency agreements, and other planning techniques.  He also assists clients with tariff matters before the U.S. International Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce involving countervailing and antidumping duties, as well as special tariff measures such as those enacted by the Trump Administration.
