Import and Export Crimes Defense
In recent years, the U.S. government has placed special attention on border security. Accordingly, import / export crimes have become highly prosecuted, and those convicted of these crimes face potentially severe penalties.
Import and export crimes usually involve highly-taxed, highly-regulated or clearly illegal items such as weapons, tobacco, alcohol and drugs. We defend clients in cases involving these and other products, including the following offenses:
- Import / export of stolen vehicles
- Illegal drug smuggling
- Smuggling products into the U.S.
- False claims on import / export forms
- False classification of goods
Investigation of Import / Export Crimes
Import and export crimes may be investigated by various government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, including Customs, U.S. Postal Service, DEA, FBI, CIA and IRS. If you believe you are under investigation for an import / export crime, it is important to speak to a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. You may be the subject of a long and grueling investigation. It is critical that your rights are protected throughout the investigation.
If you are under investigation for an import or export crime, or if you have already been charged, contact an import / export attorney in Miami to discuss your legal options.
