Sasha Božič

Sasha Božič is Director of Customs at Caspian and a licensed U.S. customs broker. He leads the firm's trade advisory practice, which recovers duties for U.S. importers through drawback claims, post-summary corrections, protests and IEEPA refund declarations filed through CBP's CAPE process.

Sasha oversees Caspian's filings with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and directs the firm's responses when CBP requests information on a client's entries. His work concentrates on the questions that decide whether a claim holds up: classification, valuation, country of origin, and the documentary record behind each entry.

Each guide published on Caspian Currents is reviewed by Sasha against the governing statute, CBP regulations and current agency practice before it goes live.
