Meet Tim

As a committed and solution-oriented lawyer, Tim’s practice focuses on international trade, trade regulatory and corporate compliance matters addressing customs, economic sanctions and export controls. He has in-depth experience regarding international sanctions and export control regimes (Russia, Crimea, Middle East). His practice further includes EU customs compliance (customs classification, origin, customs valuation/transfer pricing) and the compliance aspects of trade regulation (free trade agreements, antidumping).

Tim is also a part-time lecturer on export controls and EU customs law at the VU University in Amsterdam, the Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Dutch Association of Tax Advisors. He is a frequent guest speaker at international conferences. He founded the LinkedIn Group “Union Customs Code (UCC)”, a group for customs and international trade professionals to discuss the UCC and its significant changes to EU customs law (3000 members).

Tim is a contributor to a specialist Dutch journal on customs law and nominated in the Guide to Trade & Customs Lawyers, Who’s Who Legal. Clients describe him as “one of the most outstanding lawyers in the Netherlands”, say sources, who describe him as “fantastic, not only in customs but in export controls as well”.
