OFW Law provides guidance and representation before CBP to foreign exporters and producers, U.S. importers, the broker community, and others on all aspects of U.S. Customs and Trade law, including entry issues such as tariff classification and valuation, CBP enforcement actions, and forced labor and the UFLPA.

OFW Law advises and represents clients by defending against threatened or pending litigation related to both consumer-based and commercial disputes, such as California Proposition 65 60-day Notices and civil actions and consumer protection laws related to false or misleading advertising,  and slack fill allegations.

OFW Law represents agriculture and food industry clients in federal policy matters. Our bipartisan government relations team works with Congress, USDA, FDA, and other federal agencies on legislation, appropriations, and regulatory proceedings.
