MMM’s International Trade recently achieved another notable victory, representing Kingtom Aluminio SRL, the largest aluminum extrusion producer in the Dominican Republic, in an Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) case before the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT).

The CIT ruled in favor of Kingtom, sustaining and affirming no evasion on behalf of Kingtom. Obtaining a reversal of an EAPA determination is highly unusual and was especially challenging.
MMM’s Brady Mills, Mary Hodgins, Jordan Fleischer, and Nicholas Duffey represented Kingtom throughout the case.
