A petition for mitigation or remission (i.e., a petition for relief from some decision) is one way of administratively challenging certain decisions made by U.S. Customs & Border Protection when Customs seizes merchandise and or imposes a penalty, or liquidated damages. A petition - sometimes called a petition for relief - is different from a protest, which is the other primary means of challenging a Customs decision.
Making an offer in compromise to settle a claim made by U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) can be a great way to try to resolve many of these "claims" by the government; "claims" can include unpaid duties, penalties and even anti-dumping duties. In fact, sometimes it is the only option - or the only option left - to settle a claim for antidumping duties, a penalty, or some other exaction by Customs.
The value of products imported into the United States for customs purposes is determined by methods of "appraisement" (i.e., methods of determining and fixing a value to a product [appraisal]). When products are imported into the United States, the importer must classify and value the products. It is then CBP's responsibility to set the final appraisement of the products.

Amazing !!! Outstanding service !!! Affordable prices, great overall experience . Jason is a great person!!! He always replies right away, no delays, no misunderstanding or miscommunication. He is very hard working and honest person. Besides being a great professional in customs law and knowing all customs law procedures Jason also psychologically supported me and my family when we faced our problem. He was able to explain everything in a manner so things were easy to understand. I never had any issues before and be honest didn’t even know where to go to ask for help!!! I got lucky and found

As a fellow attorney (but not in customs law), I found Jason to be professional, prompt, and a great communicator. He resolved our customs case with Detroit CBP very quickly, with very little on our end to do. I think it is very important to hire an attorney with relationships with the people at the governmental agencies you are dealing with (because relationships matter), and Jason has extensive experience on that front. An excellent job!
