Filed Court of International Trade Actions

Trembach Law Firm is not only admitted to the U.S. Court of International Trade — it has filed 3 complaints there. The actions are docketed at the Court of International Trade as 26-02506, 26-02846, 26-04095. Anatolii Trembach is admitted to practice before the Court of International Trade and is licensed in California, State Bar #349304, verifiable at apps.calbar.ca.gov.

This matters for IEEPA refunds specifically. The Court of International Trade has ordered CBP to reliquidate and refund on plaintiffs’ entries, and CBP’s CAPE Phase 3 for finally liquidated entries is likewise available only to importers who are plaintiffs at the Court. An importer who never filed has no confirmed, self-executing mechanism. Choosing counsel who has actually filed at that court, rather than counsel who only describes the process, is therefore a practical question and not a marketing one.

Jurisdiction over these actions rests on 28 U.S.C. § 1581, and the window to sue runs under 28 U.S.C. § 2636(i). No particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Fees, Costs and Case Results

Representation in these matters is offered on a contingency basis covering attorney fees only: there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and clients remain responsible for case costs, such as court filing and service fees. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.

Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What customs services do you provide at Port of Long Beach?

At Port of Long Beach, we provide comprehensive maritime customs services including: ocean cargo entry processing, vessel entry compliance (CBP Form 1300), manifest review and corrections, cargo detention and seizure defense, ISF (Importer Security Filing) compliance, container examination responses, CBP fines and penalties defense, maritime trade compliance programs, and emergency response for time-sensitive port holds.

How quickly can you respond to cargo holds at Long Beach Port?

Port of Long Beach is one of our primary service areas. We can typically respond to cargo holds, detentions, or CBP exam requests within 2-4 hours during business hours. For critical shipments, we provide emergency response including direct coordination with CBP officers, preparation of admissibility packages, and on-site presence at the port if needed.

What is ISF (10+2) and why is compliance important?

The Importer Security Filing (ISF or "10+2") requires importers to electronically submit 10 data elements to CBP at least 24 hours before ocean cargo is loaded on a vessel bound for the U.S. Carriers must submit 2 additional elements. Non-compliance results in $5,000 per violation penalties. Late, inaccurate, or missing ISF filings are heavily penalized. We help importers establish ISF compliance programs and defend against ISF penalties.

What are common reasons for cargo detention at Port of Long Beach?

Common detention reasons at Long Beach include: ISF violations, incorrect HTS classification requiring CBP review, Section 301 tariff verification, AD/CVD scope inquiries, suspected forced labor (UFLPA), intellectual property rights (IPR) concerns, agricultural/FDA holds, missing or inadequate entry documentation, valuation questions, and country of origin verification. Each detention type requires specific response strategies.

Do you handle vessel-related customs issues?

Yes. We assist vessel owners, operators, and agents with customs vessel entry compliance including: CBP Form 1300 vessel entries, arrival/departure manifest requirements (CBP Form 1302), crew list and passenger manifest compliance, vessel repair/supply entries, bonding requirements, foreign trade zone vessel entries, and CBP violations related to vessel operations. Port of Long Beach is a major vessel traffic hub requiring specialized maritime customs expertise.
