Q: Q: Can I use legal help in a case regarding 19 C.F.R. § 122.183?
I was in the process of getting customs clearance when I was challenged by a customs agent on why I did not have the seal. My company nor did I know that I was not supposed to be in the bonded area(according to the customs agent, either unescorted or escorted) I did have the Airport badge with the driving privileges, just not the customs seal. A letter was sent to me after a month of them "checking my background", denying me clearance. I have written a letter of appeal to the port director and he will decide whether to give me clearance or not. My guess is he won't. So I have to write another letter to the Customs Management Center. If I am denied again can I use legal counsel for this?
