Legal advice for businesses managing cross-border trade, customs requirements and the tax questions connected with their activities in Vietnam.
Advice that follows the transaction.
ANT Lawyers’ trade and tax lawyers in Vietnam advise foreign investors, manufacturers and trading businesses on import and export requirements, customs, trade remedies and tax-related legal issues.
A trading arrangement brings together the goods, the companies involved, delivery and payment terms, and the documents presented to authorities. A problem in one part can affect the cost or timing of the whole transaction.
We help clients identify their responsibilities, review supporting records and address questions arising in day-to-day trade, investigations and disputes.
