International trade law refers to the body of law that governs international trade relationships between countries. It is a complex system of legal rules and regulations that sets out the rights and obligations of countries engaged in trade. International trade law covers a wide range of issues, including tariffs, trade agreements, intellectual property rights, investment, and dispute resolution.

Although International Trade sounds complex, our Firm makes it simple and safe. We understand the rules of trade within our regional blocs, and with Kenya’s international trade partners. To safeguard our clients from the risks involved, we conduct due diligence on the foreign sellers; bidding processes; the means and mode of carriage; insurance, and port clearances. International trade law also includes laws and regulations related to customs, import and export regulations, and trade sanctions. These laws are enforced by domestic agencies in each country and are often subject to international dispute resolution mechanisms, such as the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body.

We also advise and aid in applying for: Agreements or parts thereof with any country or countries relating to importation, exportation, or transit; Applied rates of duties and taxes of any kind imposed on or in connection with importation or exportation; Fees and charges imposed by or for governmental agencies on or in connection with importation, exportation or transit; Laws, regulations, and administrative rulings of general application relating to rules of origin; Import, export or transit restrictions or prohibitions; Penalty provisions for breaches of import, export, or transit formalities; Procedures for appeal or review; Procedures for importation, exportation, and transit (including port, airport, and other entry-point procedures), and required forms and documents; Procedures relating to the administration of tariff quotas; and Rules for the classification or valuation of products for customs purposes.
