Anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties, and safeguard duties imposed on exports by a domestic company affect the domestic company’s export competitiveness. In certain circumstances, the domestic company may even have to give up the market of the relevant country due to the additional tariff burden. To minimize these risks, companies subject to anti-dumping duty, countervailing duty, or safeguard duty investigation need to develop strategies to address relevant issues.

Yoon & Yang’s International Trade Practice protects interests of domestic exporters facing customs-related investigations on their exports by foreign governments including the United States, European Union, or China. Our Practice also assists domestic and overseas companies in seeking remedies under free trade agreements, bilateral investment treaties, and other international trade agreements via investor-state dispute settlement mechanism when the companies experience unfair treatment from the Korean or foreign government.
