Regulatory Compliance Reform

Get trade regulations changed to suit your company’s needs.

You need to get your voice heard if you want changes in customs regulations to happen so that cross-border movement of goods happens more efficiently. Asia is developing at a rapid pace. 16 different countries, with different cultures and different economic maturity, can make it hard to be heard in the clamour. We are your megaphone.

We make regulatory compliance easier for you by:

• Lobbying for regulatory changes to customs authorities.
• Working with NGOs, trade bodies, MNCs and Customs hand-in-glove to put forward transparent and practical operational suggestions to improve facilitation.
• Use networking and experience to deal with senior policy makers in ways that actually get things moving, and not just blow hot air.

Customs regulations in Asia have much to improve.

We have been working in the Asia-Pacific region for years, and we know in-depth the kinds of things that are just not working. The graphic above explains just a few of the problems that occur across the board.

We’re in the business of lobbying for improvements that not only benefit your company, but the region’s trade and customs practice as a whole.

Here’s an example:

We are currently working with Vietnam Customs and various NGOs by providing inputs of upcoming B:B (business to business) and G:G (Government to Government) e-customs and single window facilitation programs.

We are also helping impact regulations downstream, such as improving clarity in voluntary disclosure regulations; simplified reporting requirements for those who adopt e-customs; better alignment over classification decision at various ports and so on. We have also been involved in similar reforms in India and China.
