International Trade Advisory

Our international trade team is one of the largest organizations in Korea, leveraging nearly 40 professionals specializing in transfer pricing, customs duties, export controls, and international trade to deliver integrated solutions for global transactions and supply-chain issues facing multinational enterprises.

In today's global business environment, customs duties, country of origin, export controls, and economic security regulations are emerging as core variables in corporate management alongside transfer pricing. In particular, supply-chain restructuring and strengthened protectionism require companies to establish comprehensive strategies that link tax and international trade.

We analyze the overall global value chains for clients to design optimal transaction structures and operating models, providing integrated advisory services ranging from transfer pricing policy establishment to customs and supply-chain reviews, export-control compliance, trade risk management, and tax audits and dispute resolution. In addition, by delivering an integrated, one-stop service that combines the expertise of the PwC global network with local experience, we support our clients in achieving sustainable growth and value creation.
