Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. 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 are antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD)?
- Antidumping duties (AD) are additional tariffs imposed when foreign companies sell products in the U.S. below fair market value. Countervailing duties (CVD) offset foreign government subsidies. AD/CVD rates can exceed 200% for certain products from China, Vietnam, and other countries. These duties are IN ADDITION to normal HTS tariffs. Our Santa Clara anti-dumping attorney helps Silicon Valley tech companies determine if their electronics, solar panels, or hardware components are subject to AD/CVD orders.
- What tech products are commonly subject to AD/CVD orders?
- Santa Clara tech importers face AD/CVD exposure on: solar cells and modules from China (50-250% duties), aluminum extrusions used in electronics casings (30-200%), certain steel components (100%+), lithium-ion batteries from China, printed circuit board assemblies, and various electronic components. If you import tech hardware from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, or South Korea, AD/CVD risk is significant.
- How can scope rulings help my Santa Clara tech company?
- A scope ruling from the Department of Commerce determines whether your specific tech product is covered by an existing AD/CVD order. If your product is excluded from scope due to technical specifications, end-use, or physical characteristics, you avoid massive AD/CVD duties. Our Santa Clara attorney prepares detailed scope ruling requests with technical documentation demonstrating your product is outside the order scope.
- What is an EAPA investigation and why do Silicon Valley companies face them?
- EAPA (Enforce and Protect Act) investigations examine whether importers are evading AD/CVD orders through transshipment, falsified country of origin, or minor alterations. Silicon Valley companies importing solar panels, electronics, or aluminum products from China via third countries face heightened EAPA scrutiny. CBP can detain shipments and demand massive cash deposits. Our Santa Clara EAPA defense attorney represents tech companies through investigation.
- How do I avoid AD/CVD duties on electronics imports?
- Strategies for Santa Clara tech importers include: (1) Scope Rulings demonstrating your product specifications place you outside the order, (2) Country of origin planning to source from non-covered countries, (3) Substantial transformation in third countries with proper documentation, (4) Product design modifications that place you outside scope, (5) Participating in administrative reviews for lower rates. Our Santa Clara anti-dumping attorney evaluates which strategies work for your specific products.
