CUSTOMS AND TRADE
With strengths in: border
protection, cargo and trade, customs law and enforcement,
excise and quarantine.
AGS has a unique advantage in providing customs
and other trade-related legal advice in the Australian
Government context, as we have been the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service's principal legal adviser since
Federation.
We have a strong network of lawyers across AGS who
regularly practise in this area. Their expertise
covers the range of legal issues that arise in relation
to border protection and maritime surveillance as
well as Customs and Border Protection's border-related revenue management.
This includes tariff concessions and duty drawback
to industry, and collection of customs duties. We
have also built up strong expertise in litigation
involving prosecutions and judicial review of decisions
relating to trade measures (that is, anti-dumping
and countervailing obligations), having regularly
acted in this area over a long period of time.
In addition, we have expertise in legal issues arising
under other legislation administered by Customs and Border Protection and
have long experience in providing advice to Austrade.
