Import/Export Control & Trade Compliance
In the beginning, our export control practice is to help our client identify and mitigate the risks in their business interactions with their trade partners from the United States in connection with the Export Administration Regulations, including assessing potential hurdles in import transactions, evaluating regulatory risks and designing reexport compliance programs, etc.
In recent years, as the Chinese government is tightening its tooth in export control by issuing and revising various export-related regulations, our service is also sought by clients in dealing with Chinese export control matters. Especially, by leveraging our traditional advantage in Intellectual Property practice, we have advised many clients in technology export projects.
Our export control compliance practice includes:
• Assessing the feasibility of the client’s potential transaction under relevant regulations in China.
• Assisting the clients to analyze and assess the relevant legal requirements applicable to the concerned transaction.
• Drafting transaction documents to ensure export control compliance in China.
• Interacting with government authorities to obtain various permits, approvals or registration certificates, etc.
