CREYDT.LAW – Law Firm for Foreign Trade Law Working Hand in Hand for Legally Compliant International Trade
As a law firm specialising in foreign trade law, we provide comprehensive advice to companies on all legal aspects of international trade. Customs law, export controls, sanctions, embargoes and U.S. (re-)export control law are closely interlinked and place high demands on organisations, processes and those responsible for compliance.
Our advisory focus is on German foreign trade law, the EU–foreign trade law and U.S. foreign trade law. We support companies in particular in the areas of export control law, customs law and trade compliance matters — both at national and international level.
As an experienced boutique law firm, we combine legal precision with technical understanding and practical implementation expertise.
We help you manage complex regulatory requirements in a structured manner and develop legally sound solutions for your international business.
Customs and Foreign Trade Law Security and Clarity in International Trade in Goods
In international trade, customs matters directly affect costs, delivery capacity, and ultimately competitivenes.
The correct classification of goods, the determination of customs value, the use of preferential arrangements, or the handling of anti-dumping duties — even minor errors can lead to significant fines, additional assessments, delays, or sanctions.
We advise companies comprehensively on customs law, looking not only at individual declarations but at your processes as a whole.
We aim to minimize duty risks, make legally sound use of available planning opportunities, and ensure you are well-positioned to withstand audits.
Whether preventive advice, support during customs audits or representation before authorities and fiscal courts: we stand for clear recommendations, efficient solutions, and reliable enforcement of your interests.
Export Control and Foreign Trade Law Legally Compliant in the European and Global Context
International trade requires more than market knowledge — it demands legally sound structures. We advise companies comprehensively on German, European and U.S. (re-)export control law. From dual-use goods and defence-related items to embargoes, sanctions and technology transfers, we support you with deep legal expertise and technical understanding.
Export control is a matter of legal liability. We assist you with the legal classification of your products, strategic decision-making, licensing procedures and dealings with authorities — including in complex cross-border situations. We also provide support in administrative fine and criminal proceedings.
Our approach is holistic: we combine legal advice with practically implementable processes. This allows us to minimise risks, safeguard your ability to act and lay the foundation for sustainable international business success.
In addition to our substantive expertise, decades of experience, interdisciplinary working methods and an international network form the foundation of how we work.
Compliance in Foreign Trade Law Reducing Your Liability Risks, Securing Your Ability to Act
Foreign trade law is becoming increasingly complex, controls more intensive, and personal liability risks for managing directors, export control officers and customs responsible persons more concrete. A robust trade compliance system is therefore not a “nice-to-have” — it is a prerequisite for secure international business operations.
We analyse existing systems, identify organisational weaknesses and develop tailored Internal Compliance Programmes (ICP) and control structures that meet regulatory expectations — including those under relevant U.S. requirements. We accompany you through the entire process: from risk analysis and the implementation of suitable IT and process solutions through to the training of those responsible.
Whether audit, health check, rebuilding from scratch or interim support in export control and customs: we ensure that your compliance does not exist on paper alone, but can be effectively and efficiently implemented across all areas of your organisation.
