Listen as you hear from our distinguished speakers who discuss customs duty regulations; common customs fraud schemes; recent legal developments; using the False Claims Act to expose customs fraud; and practical guidance for pursuing and defending customs fraud cases. This CLE is timely and relevant for all attorneys who provide counsel to companies that import goods from abroad and potential whistleblowers.
