About our team in Laem Chabang
Laem Chabang is Thailand's largest deep-sea port, and the legal work here is unlike anywhere else: it turns on goods in motion. Tariff classification and customs valuation being questioned, post-clearance audits reaching back over past years, cargo damaged or lost in transit, disputes with freight forwarders and warehouse operators, and labor cases involving the sub-contractors who staff the port area.
Customs matters are decided by the records and by the first submission, so we start by reviewing the classifications and valuation structure in use to find where they are fragile — before anything is filed. We work directly alongside the client's import-export team.
