About Daniel Gerkin

As a Partner in the Washington, DC, office of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, I counsel a variety of U.S, international and multinational companies, hedge funds, private equity funds, venture funds, and project developers in matters concerning U.S. export controls, economic embargoes and sanctions, investment security reviews, customs/tariffs, and trade remedies and other trade-related investigations, often in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other business transactions. In particular, I represent clients regarding compliance with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), including anti-boycott compliance, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Foreign Trade Regulations, the embargoes and sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the U.S. Department of State, and sanctions-related legislation. In addition, I have counseled clients in connection with matters implicating the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and have successfully led a number of clients through the CFIUS clearance process. Furthermore, I advise clients regarding compliance with Treasury\'s Outbound Investment Security Program, as well as several inbound programs relating to supply chain security and national security, including those administered by Commerce\'s Office of Information and Communications Technology and Services. Finally, I represent U.S. importers before U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Court of International Trade in connection with a wide variety of customs matters, including tariff classification, import valuation, country of origin, country of origin marking, preferential programs and free trade agreements, drawback, reconciliation, temporary importations under bond, Foreign Trade Zones, and textile quota and visa requirements. I also represent foreign manufacturers and exporters and U.S. importers in traditional and nonmarket anti-dumping and countervailing duty proceedings, as well as in Section 201, 232 and 301 proceedings.
