We maintain good contacts to address discriminatory duties as well as other restrictive barriers on exports (two of our principal consultants worked seven and a half years in Geneva, Switzerland where the GATT and now the WTO is located).

So, should you have a product that is a trade secret or is patented that is running up against a ‘brick wall’ in terms of export to a certain country, we may well be able to help. These are the kind of issues we delight in addressing in our ‘hand-holding’ counseling role with innovators.
