In addition to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there are many other partner government agencies that exercise varying degrees of oversight of trade-related issues, from product safety to environmental protection to economic sanctions. These agencies’ policies can impose substantial burdens or allow shipments easier transit across borders. ST&R’s savvy government relations team can help you shape CBP and PGA policies and advocate for changes that would benefit your business.
