With deep experience in export controls, import regulations, and trade remedies, Yusra delivers practical, business-focused solutions that empower clients to navigate complex global supply chains and maintain a competitive edge.

She brings a nuanced understanding of the unique regulatory challenges facing the fashion and consumer products sectors. She has successfully advised clients on Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) short supply petitions, tariff classifications, and compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. Her tailored strategies help brands optimize their import operations, mitigate risk, and uphold the highest standards of ethical sourcing and supply chain transparency.

Her practice is distinguished by her in-depth knowledge of regulations administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Department of State under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Her experience extends to representing clients in high-stakes anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations, including matters involving ceramic tiles from India and sodium gluconate from China. She manages every phase of the investigation process, from petition preparation and regulatory filings to advocacy before the US Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission. Her strategic approach ensures clients’ interests are protected in both initial proceedings and subsequent sunset reviews.

With a commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the trade sector, Yusra actively leads DEI initiatives that foster a more inclusive and equitable environment for all stakeholders. Her leadership and industry insight make her a valued partner to fashion and consumer products companies seeking to thrive in a dynamic global marketplace.
