In addition, he assists clients in preparing for and undergoing CBP audits (e.g., Focused Assessments). He also assists clients in developing duty savings strategies through the effective use of duty drawback, foreign trade zones and subzones, preferential duty programs, and free trade agreements, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).

Mr. Goodale also provides compliance counseling to government contractors on a wide range of matters covered by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS).  He regularly advises clients on issues relating to cybersecurity, data rights, IP protection, supply chain management, sourcing issues, and domestic content requirements.

In addition, he provides counseling to clients relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and he conducts internal investigations to ensure that clients comply with the requirements of the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws, such as the UK Bribery Act.
