Deep Institutional Knowledge

We have a combined team of lawyers, scientists, technologists and patent agents. This blend of expertise brings together the essential skillset where science meets law, which we consider vital for the classification of goods.

We assist in the correct customs classification and applicable duty rate for goods before their first-time import. In case of inquiry, we defend in all classification-related investigations by authorities/departments like DRI, SIIB and Audit or Preventive wings.
