INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT LAWYERS

There are particular legal problems affecting hauliers involved in international transport, quite apart from the need to know the differing laws that apply on the Continent, whether in EU or non-EU countries.

Rothera Dowson has arranged for legal representation of clients in a number of EU countries and has contacts on the continent which can be called upon to ensure local support and representation is available. In addition, we have significant experience in dealing with the Civil Penalty Unit of the Home Office in respect of the penalty system for transporting illegal immigrants. We also deal with HM Revenue and Customs regarding the seizure of vehicles used for smuggling excess quantities of alcohol or tobacco or the importation of illegal goods.

Rothera Dowson has well established links with the RHA, the FTA and the IRU, and with the assistance of a network of European Lawyers, we can advise and assist on the legal aspects of your International transport activities, including:

• The CMR and TIR Conventions
• Community Authorisations
• Cabotage
• Clandestine Entrants
   - The Code of Practice
   - The Civil Penalty Scheme
• Court/Tribunal representation on the continent
• Revenue and Customs disputes
   - Smuggling
   - Alcohol/Tobacco allowances
   - Vehicle seizures and penalties
