Navigating the intricacies of cross-border trade requires more than regulatory knowledge. It demands strategic foresight and practical, business-minded solutions. At Kudun and Partners, we understand the commercial realities of international trade and the regulatory risks that come with it. Our Customs and International Trade Practice stands as a trusted partner for both domestic and multinational clients seeking seamless operations and legal certainty in Thailand and across ASEAN.
What truly sets us apart is our team’s real-world experience. Several of our professionals are retired customs officers with decades of experience inside the regulatory system. Their experience allows us to deliver pragmatic, cost-effective solutions that reflect how customs rules are applied in practice, not just how they are written.
We provide end-to-end support, from advisory services that ensure compliance and unlock trade privileges to high-stakes dispute resolution before customs authorities and administrative courts. Our goal is to enable clients not only to comply but to thrive in an increasingly complex global trade environment.
Led by Kudun Sukhumananda and supported by a team with deep technical credentials and litigation experience, our Customs and International Trade Practice offers valuable insight into Thailand’s regulatory and enforcement landscape.
Our lawyers have completed customs broker training which gives them strong expertise in both regulatory compliance and practical customs operations. Experienced litigators in our team have represented a wide range of clients including trading companies, manufacturers, logistics providers and import/export agents in complex disputes with customs authorities involving tariff classification, customs valuation, audits and penalties.
Additionally, our practice includes retired customs officers with decades of service whose extensive experience and established connections allow us to anticipate enforcement trends, assess risks effectively and develop pragmatic strategies based on real-world practice.
As businesses face increased regulatory scrutiny, geopolitical uncertainty and evolving trade rules, we provide the clarity and confidence needed to resolve disputes efficiently, protect commercial interests and maintain full compliance in today’s dynamic trade environment.
