Incentives Advisory and Planning

  • Many governments are offering conditional incentives to attract investments in their countries, in the form of direct manufacturing, contract manufacturing or processing trade/job work. This requires careful examination of the policies, conditions to be met, business model to be structured, licences and applications to be prepared etc.

  • We provide services for seeking incentives and negotiating packages of incentives under industrial and manufacturing policies, and assisting in obtaining the incentives from various government departments in the APAC region.

Anti- Dumping Duties (ADD)

US, China, and India are the leading markets in the world, and also the biggest users of anti-dumping, countervailing and other safeguard duties. Other countries such as Vietnam, Korea etc. are catching up with the trend. These duties severely affect the business and profitability of companies operating in these markets.

We provide the following services:

  • Drafting and submission of responses for public hearings of these proceedings
  • Coordination with clients and the appearing counsel on the strategy, technical details etc. regarding the submission
  • Follow-up with the authorities for finalisation of the proceedings
  • Impact analysis and remedy measures
