International Trade

LHAG’s International Trade Practice is one of the leading practices in trade remedies i.e. anti-dumping, safeguard measures, countervailing duty or anti-subsidy, and anti-circumvention.  We have represented domestic manufacturers and foreign exporters, specifically in the steel and iron industry in major trade investigations particularly in Malaysia and the ASEAN region. We are also involved in numerous trade litigation matters involving antidumping and safeguard.

Our team also has deep experience in complex customs and trade matters such as non-tariff barriers, import and export controls, trade restrictions, sanctions, free trade agreements, and preferential tariff treatment. We have represented manufacturers in the region in investigations conducted by foreign authorities arising from trade agreements concerning origin of goods and transshipment issues.

We act for multi-national corporations and foreign manufacturers and distributors in Malaysian customs matters such as import prohibitions and restrictions, free trade zones, free industrial zones, licensed manufacturing warehouses, duty exemption and duty-free regions. With in-depth industry knowledge, our practice’s objective is to ease customs compliance in this increasingly challenging business environment. We also regularly represent companies in high-profile customs investigations and raids relating to alleged smuggling, transshipment and customs compliance offences.
