Arbitration is the next preferred method where negotiation fails. Unless the parties can agree on arbitration after the dispute has arisen, the underlying contract or separate agreement must indicate that disputes will be resolved through arbitration. The Arbitration clause shall indicate the process of appointment of arbitrator, place of arbitration and number of arbitrators. In many instances, international arbitration is an effective though perhaps underutilised dispute resolution mechanism Especially in China and India. Arbitration also offers an advantage over litigation because of the finality of the rulings. Court rulings are subject to appeal, which means litigation may continue for a lengthy period of time.Agreements to arbitrate usually specify a choice of arbitration body, which may be located in country of contract party or other country.In China there are two Chinese government-sponsored arbitration bodies for handling cases involving at least one foreign party : China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) and China Maritime Arbitration Commission (CMAC). In India there are major three arbitration institute which provides alternate dispute resolution : Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA) Indian Institute of Arbitration & Mediation (IIAM) The International Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ICADR) In Hong Kong, there are three major arbitration institutions : The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (or HKIAC) Hong Kong Mediation and Arbitration Centre (HKMAAC) Hong Kong Institute of Arbitrators (HKIArb) Companies should clearly mention in contract  an alternative to any country base arbitration if they choose international body like Singapore Arbitration Centre.

Risk is a fact of business life, more so of international business. Importing can be an effective way of finding low-cost supplies, reducing your costs and making your business more competitive. It might even allow you to branch out into a whole new product line, selling something that isn’t generally available in India. Importing of products at low cost and selling at higher price in domestic country is well known and profit making trading business. But at the same time, importing is more complex than buying from a local supplier. And when things go wrong, sorting them out can be more difficult and expensive. Importing is particularly cash flow intensive for two key reasons – economies of scale make it more efficient to place large orders, and long delivery times mean working capital can be tied up for many months. The distance between importing country and country of supplier is much greater than when importer sources locally. This applies to geographical distance, but equally to cultural and language differences. This can make it more difficult to deal with quality control, or to return faulty goods.   Import can be proved extremely complex, confusing, costly and loss making if you are not vigilant importer. Expected gains can often be erased by long transit times, rising or fluctuating delivery costs, unexpected delays and fraud by supplier.

In a cross border transactions, learning more about your trading partner is a critical part of business decisions. In global trade there is little room for error in choosing a trustworthy supplier or relying on a credible buyer.  Some of the common frauds in import business are : No response from supplier after opening of Letter of Credit.

Fake Bill of Lading is submitted by supplier along with other shipping documents and payment is made as per contract either LC terms or TT. Product delivered is totally different from product ordered and payment of LC (at sight) is released by bank based on fake Bill of Lading. Sometime supplier ships product is either banned or on which Anti dumping duty is applicable in importing country.

Disputes and litigation are a part of modern life.  In today’s environment, these disputes or potential disputes often involve complex financial, economic and business issues.Whether in litigation or other dispute resolution means, clients and their counsel require the rapid mining, modelling and analysis of data in order to make case-critical decisions.  We provide quantitative analytic solutions in instances where facts are disputed and answers are buried in voluminous, complex collections of transactional data.At China Trade Solution we take a creative approach to litigation and arbitration support, finding thoughtful solutions that are time-sensitive and tailored to our clients’ legal strategy.

Negotiation Arbitration Filling Lawsuit   NegotiationNegotiation is first and most cost effective means of dispute resolution. In fact, the majority of commercial contracts have a standard clause stipulating that negotiation should be pursued before other dispute settlement mechanisms are used. This is also the expectation within other business culture more generally and failure to adequately follow this may be interpreted as a lack of courtesy or goodwill, or a lack of cultural sensitivity.Breach of contract generally results in termination of the contract and damages for any losses incurred. In China however, a greater emphasis is placed on preserving business relationships or using personal connections to assist in resolving disputes. When a foreign firm experiences difficulty in directly negotiating a solution to a dispute with its counter party, companies sometimes seek assistance from government officials who can encourage the counter party to honor the terms of the contract. However, negotiations do not always lead to resolution.What we do We meet your counter party and put all our efforts to honor the terms of the contract We negotiate between you and your counter party to reach at some mutually accepted level of resolution and follow up to ensure that party performs the obligation in stipulated time.

A final step to resolve a commercial dispute is through litigation in courts. In China, foreign individuals and companies have the same ability to bring action in court as Chinese citizens and companies. There are three levels of courts in China. Every major city has basic courts and intermediate courts. Supervising these courts are the provincial high courts.In Hong Kong Civil proceedings can be instituted by : The Government against individuals (including companies); or Individuals against the Government; or Individuals against other individuals. The standard of proof is based on the balance of probabilities. The main branches of civil law include contract, tort, property, administrative, family and revenue law.Our lawyers have earned international acclaim for providing cutting-edge legal solutions to many foreign companies doing business in or with China & Hong Kong. Our vast experience handling China-Hong Kong specific entity formation, contracts, intellectual property matters, and dispute resolution gives our clients the security of knowing they have a truly seasoned legal team behind them.Tips to avoid disputes : Have clear contract terms. Specify exact terms of payment and performance standards. Set timelines. Include specific dispute resolution clauses, including details on the procedure and maintenance of operations during a pending dispute. Pay careful attention to details, such as initialising pages of contracts and signing properly. Make sure the Chinese version of the contract is consistent with the English version. Do not attempt to enter into an agreement without sound legal advice. Make certain your project is economically viable by its own terms. Profitability of a project or the sale of goods and services should be based on sound economic criteria. Make sure you know your buyer/seller. Take due diligence report from consulting firm. Choose your partner carefully and only after a careful examination of experience and dependability. Check the reliability of the data your partner or customer provides from independent sources. Make sure you get paid. A contract with an insolvent partner or customer is worthless. Pay careful attention to how you get paid, when you get paid and in which currency. Search for problems & its solution before they materialize. In addition to creating pro forma balance sheets, spend some time at the beginning of a project to examine what you will do if things go wrong. Try to anticipate possible problem areas. If you can’t find any, you are not looking hard enough. Create a strategy to deal with potential problems with the help of your consulting firm. Do a thorough risk analysis. Be realistic about how much risk you are willing to accept in your business venture. Make sure you use reliable sources for this assessment. Use more than news media sources or your immediate partners to evaluate the risk. Limit your exposure. Set milestones for a particular transaction. Always start with small value order as trial.

When a foreign investor chooses to enter the China market, they will first need to decide whether to launch their business by establishing a legal entity with a capital investment in China or to start more cautiously by testing the market, building networks and/or hiring local representatives.If a legal entity is the preferred route, the foreign investor will have to consider, in addition to the general commercial and strategic considerations: the business sector, the amount to be invested and whether a Chinese partner is desirable or even mandatory. Government rules for specific industries may affect the size and form of the investment. For instance, media, automotive and telecom industries are all industries that may require foreign invested enterprises to have local partners.Representative Office (RO)A Representative Office (RO) can represent the interests of a foreign investor by acting as a liaison office for the parent company. ROs can conduct market research, develop partnerships and business channels and, since they do not have a minimum investment requirement, ROs are not considered to be a Foreign Invested Enterprise (FIE). ROs are the least complicated way for a foreign firm to have a legal presence in China and were, at one time, the first choice for foreign companies with little or no previous experience in the country. However all business transactions, including the issuance of invoices, must be managed by the parent company and ROs can only hire a maximum of four foreign employees. Any local employees must be hired through government-authorised employment agencies. ROs are usually taxed on a proportion of gross monthly expenses. Given the restrictions on transactions, employment and the taxation on expenses, WFOEs are generally now considered a better option for entrants seeking to develop their business in the China market.Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE)A WFOE is a limited liability company (LLC) that is fully invested by one or more foreign investors. Along with the rights afforded to a RO, a WFOE may also legally conduct business transactions within China and hire local employees on its own accord. However, foreign investors do have to make an investment into the company and, depending upon the business activity, there may be a minimum capital requirement. WFOEs have begun to outpace joint ventures as the most popular vehicle for a China presence. Joint Ventures (JVs)There are two types of joint venture structure in the China market: Equity Joint Venture (EJV) – EJVs have capital investments from both local and foreign firms. The percentage of the capital investment determines the amount of profit and risk that both the foreign and local company assumes. Foreign firms entering business sectors where WFOEs are prohibited often use EJVs, although this is becoming less prevalent as more and more sectors are being opened up to WFOEs. Cooperative Joint Venture (CJV) – CJVs are also partnerships with a local company; however, the amount of risk and profit shared by each party is not determined by capital investment but is agreed upon at the beginning of the partnership. CJVs were used more frequently in the 1990s when the Chinese economy was not as developed. International companies often injected funds, while local Chinese companies provided equipment and other necessities. Laws, regulations and procedures for establishment can vary substantially between sectors. The common risks associated with entering into partnerships also apply in China but this is often exacerbated by disparities in the culture and business practices between the foreign and local partners. Foreign companies should enter into JVs only when both parties have established a clear understanding of the business objectives and appropriate exit strategies have been developed. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)M&A has become an increasingly popular route to invest in China in recent years. There are many options for M&A in China, including equity and asset acquisitions, as well as mergers. As a form of foreign direct investment, the general rules on establishment of FIEs also apply to any M&A.
