Customs Investigation & Disputes
From customs valuation, tariff classification, and origin issues on imported goods
to customs audit defense and customs appeals, we provide comprehensive advisory.
Overview
The customs practice covers essential legal matters in international trade, including customs valuation of imported goods, tariff classification (HS Code), origin determination, application of FTA preferential tariffs, customs duty reduction and drawback, and bonded area management. A deep understanding of Korea Customs Service clearance, examination, and investigation practices is indispensable.
Drawing on the hands-on experience of former Korea Customs Service practitioners, PYEONG AN provides comprehensive customs advisory spanning pre-import customs risk assessment, customs audit defense, representation in customs appeals (objection, examination, and adjudication proceedings), and customs litigation.
