Relevant records may include purchase orders, commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or airway bills, customs entry documents, export filings, certificates of origin, broker records, freight-forwarder records, shipping instructions, payment documents, delivery records, and correspondence. An Import/Export Expert Witness may compare these materials to reconstruct how goods were described, valued, routed, documented, and transferred among the parties involved in the transaction.
Tariff classification determines how merchandise is categorized under the applicable customs tariff system and can affect duties and other import requirements. An Import/Export Expert Witness may examine a product's composition, function, intended use, physical characteristics, technical specifications, commercial documentation, and other information relevant to the classification analysis. The expert can explain the factual and technical basis for a classification position without deciding the ultimate legal classification when that determination is reserved to the appropriate authority or court.
Customs valuation may require analysis of the underlying transaction rather than relying solely on the amount shown on an invoice. Relevant information can include purchase agreements, invoices, payments, related-party relationships, assists, royalties, packing costs, commissions, and other transaction-specific factors under the applicable customs framework. An Import/Export Expert Witness may analyze the commercial records supporting a declared value while leaving ultimate legal determinations concerning customs liability or duties to the appropriate decision-maker.
Import/Export expertise focuses on cross-border trade issues such as customs and export documentation, tariff classification, valuation, origin, filing procedures, and the roles of importers, exporters, brokers, and other trade participants. Freight expertise focuses on the physical transportation of cargo, including carriers, routing, terminals, handling, tracking, loss, damage, and delivery. An Import/Export Expert Witness may provide more focused analysis when the dispute centers on customs or trade procedures, while a Freight Expert Witness may be more appropriate when transportation operations are the central issue.

Electronic Export Information and related export records can document information reported about a U.S. export transaction, including the parties, commodity, destination, value, routing, and shipment details. An Import/Export Expert Witness may compare export filings with invoices, shipping documents, broker or forwarder records, and related communications to identify inconsistencies or reconstruct what information was reported at the relevant time. Whether a filing was legally required, timely, complete, or compliant with applicable export regulations remains a legal or regulatory determination.
