We provide advice in relation to dealings with Australian Border Force as to the correctness of information provided and we can make recommendations to ensure compliance where there are allegations on misclassification of goods, incorrect use of Tariff concession order or under valuations.
Our rates and fixed prices are lower than the prices charged by many Perth Commercial law firms because we own our offices so we don't pay the exorbitant St George's Tce rent that many commercial law firms do.
