Customs Expert Tom Gould Joins ST&R Law Firm
After more than a decade running his own customs consulting business in Los Angeles, Tom Gould is joining Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, a law firm that regularly advises apparel and textile companies in California.
“We’re exceptionally pleased that Tom has joined the firm,” said ST&R’s founding partner Lee Sandler. “Tom is a noted authority in textile and apparel industry matters, but he’s also very highly regarded for his knowledge on the full range of import/export issues affecting all industries. Los Angeles is a major player in international trade, with the nation’s biggest port and a resurgent fashion manufacturing sector.”
Sandler said both his Miami-based law firm and Gould have worked closely with Los Angeles–area apparel companies for years.
Gould is a licensed broker and certified customs specialist who has written several articles on customs issues for the California Apparel News.
He regularly advises clients on customs and international trade compliance matters, classification, origin determination, qualification for free-trade agreements, special duty-reduction programs, product safety, and supply-chain security. He will remain based in Los Angeles.
