Legal Question in International Law in Massachusetts
I conduct an electronic and solar panel business in Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Recently Puerto Rico customs authorities fined my business due to import compliance regulations. They wrongfully accused me of importing Chinese sourced solar panels, forgery, money laundering, detained my shipments, constantly threatening me of wrongdoing, claimed they intervened my phones. We always provided them the requested documents related to the origin of the goods obtained directly from the suppliers of the dollar panels.
I am unsure of their intentions and how would they eventually proceed with their decision but this has almost stopped my operations in Puerto Rico. I'm thinking to finalize my business there. I need help to prove my case, therefore to eliminate large fines to be imposed on my business or myself.

This is a very unfortunate situation. You can't get help with something like this over the internet. A lawyer has to look at the papers and talk to you about what's going on and figure out what to do.
Good luck.
