The Customs and International Trade Bar Association (CITBA) was founded in 1926. Its members consist of attorneys who maintain an interest in the field of customs law, international trade law and related matters. CITBA members represent United States importers, exporters and domestic parties concerned with matters that involve the United States Customs laws, anti dumping, countervailing duties and other international trade laws, and related laws and regulations of other U.S. federal agencies concerned with international commerce.
Meetings are held at least twice per year, usually in New York City. A number of seminars are conducted throughout the year, concerning various matters of interest to the membership.
Membership is open to all attorneys admitted to practice in any country, and law students. If you are interested in becoming a member of CITBA, please go to the Membership Application page, which contains an application form, instructions on its completion, and membership fees. The form can be printed by executing the print command in your internet browser. Five classes of membership are available: Active, Honorary, Associate, Retired; and Student. The classes of membership are described in Article I, Sections 1 through 6 of the CITBA By-laws.
Various announcements, articles of interest, schedules of meetings and seminars, and other matters, may be found in the Notices section.
The Links page includes a number of hyper links to various web sites of interest to practitioners in Customs and International Trade law.
