About Andrew H
Andrew H Barbour earned his law degree from the University of Arizona, where he also completed a certificate in International Trade and Business Law. He earlier completed a dual bachelor’s program in Near Eastern Studies and Russian at the same university. Those academic choices shaped the direction of his work and informed his approach to cross-border legal issues.
After law school he moved into practice that blends customs regulation and trade law. He is admitted to practice in Arizona and Connecticut. He also holds a customs broker license from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (License No. 29956), a credential that allows him to operate on both the legal and operational sides of import compliance.
Barbour’s background in Near Eastern Studies and Russian gives him a broader cultural and historical context for international matters. That background shows up in how he handles regulatory questions and client communications. He tends to take a methodical approach. He breaks complex rules down into practical steps and explains options clearly.
Across his work he has focused on the mechanics of customs entry, tariff classification, valuation, and penalties. He advises on import compliance programs and the administrative processes that follow enforcement actions. He also engages on transactional matters where customs and trade rules affect delivery and cost structures. In contested matters he has experience preparing submissions and responding to agency inquiries.
He practices at Munger, Chadwick & Denker, P.L.C., where he combines legal counsel with customs brokerage experience. Colleagues describe him as practical in his analysis and precise in his filings. Clients typically turn to him for help untangling regulatory requirements and for procedural advice during audits or disputes.
Outside the office he has maintained ties to issues at the intersection of business and international regulation. His training in regional studies and languages has remained a reference point in cross-border work. He continues to hold his customs broker license and uses that credential in client matters that require entry filings or direct liaison with customs officials.
His current practice focuses on international trade, customs law, and regulatory compliance.
