Our solutions ensure regulatory compliance, minimize risks, and unlock opportunities for efficiency and cost savings across the global supply chain.

1. Regulatory Compliance and Risk Mitigation

MII assists clients in staying up to date with evolving international trade regulations and customs requirements. This includes:

• Tariff classification (HS code determination)
• 
  
• Country of origin analysis
• 
  
• Restricted party screening
• 
  
• Export control compliance (e.g., dual-use goods)

✅ Example: An Indonesian electronics manufacturer exporting to the EU receives guidance on correctly classifying products and complying with REACH regulations to avoid delays or penalties at customs.

2. Customs Valuation & Documentation Advisory

We provide expert support in determining accurate customs valuation in accordance with WTO rules and local regulations, while advising on correct documentation for smooth customs clearance.

• Invoice and incoterms review
• 
  
• Transfer pricing impact analysis
• 
  
• Preparation of commercial, packing, and shipping documentation
• 
  
• Advisory on DDP vs DAP vs FOB structuring

✅ Example: A trading company importing textile goods from China receives assistance in calculating the correct dutiable value and prepares necessary certificates (e.g., Certificate of Origin, packing list) to avoid revaluation or cargo hold.

3. Trade Agreement Optimization

MII helps clients leverage Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs), and other bilateral/multilateral arrangements to reduce or eliminate tariffs.

• Eligibility assessment for FTAs (e.g., ASEAN-China, RCEP)
• 
  
• Origin documentation support
• 
  
• Cost-benefit analysis for alternative sourcing

✅ Example: A food importer switching sourcing from Thailand to Vietnam saves on import duties by qualifying for ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) preferences under Form D.

4. Global Trade Compliance Audits

We perform end-to-end assessments of your international trade operations to identify potential compliance gaps, reduce risk exposure, and recommend corrective actions.

• Trade process mapping
• 
  
• Compliance health checks
• 
  
• Customs post-clearance audit support

✅ Example: A global automotive parts distributor undergoes a compliance audit that reveals misclassification in product HS codes, enabling corrective declarations and avoidance of future fines.

5. Strategic Sourcing & Supply Chain Structuring

By integrating trade compliance insights into the early stages of procurement and logistics planning, we help clients make better decisions that improve cost efficiency and responsiveness.

• Supplier screening and country risk analysis
• 
  
• Cost simulations for landed cost comparisons
• 
  
• Strategic hub-and-spoke logistics routing

✅ Example: A multinational brand entering the Indonesian market receives guidance on choosing a bonded zone versus direct import, balancing tax deferral benefits with inventory control.
