About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
Our trade practice consists of attorneys from various practice groups specializing in a broad range of issues including trade, customs, remedies, litigation, export controls, consumption tax (VAT) and transfer pricing.
Our professionals provide practical advice and are prepared to offer legal solutions for companies facing new and pending regulatory issues. Recently, there have been numerous discussions proposing the harmonization of customs valuation and transfer pricing rules. Our well-regarded transfer pricing group, which has its own in-house economics expertise, is able to seamlessly structure and handle any cross-border issue that may arise without the need for outsourcing of economic analysis.
In trade disputes, we have a strong track record representing clients in customs and import consumption tax matters. Our team has also handled trade remedies including anti-dumping and CVD matters. Further, we have the ability to draw up on the expertise of our Dispute Resolution practice, which includes a former member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the WTO Dispute Settlement Division.
The team also handles all aspects of strategic customs and indirect tax planning, compliance, audits and litigation. We have assisted in securing favorable customs rulings and provide clients with legal advice, audit assistance, and the preparation and filing of necessary customs and VAT documents.
