Profile

Mr. Huang has spent 11 years developing a specialized practice in international trade and customs law, advising foreign companies on import-export compliance, customs valuation, tariff classification, and trade remedy responses. Located in Baishan in southeastern Jilin near the border with North Korea, his practice has a distinctly international character, serving clients engaged in cross-border trade across Northeast Asia.

His customs practice covers the full spectrum of import-export regulatory requirements under China's Customs Law and related regulations. He advises clients on tariff classification under the Harmonized System, customs valuation methodologies, rules of origin, and the preferential tariff treatment available under China's free trade agreements. He has prepared numerous binding tariff classification rulings for clients in the machinery, chemical, and agricultural product sectors.

Mr. Huang regularly assists clients with customs audits and investigations conducted by the General Administration of Customs. He represents clients in disputes arising from customs valuation adjustments, tariff classification disagreements, and allegations of customs fraud or negligence.

He has developed particular expertise in the import-export requirements for dual-use items and controlled technologies.

Mr. Huang also advises on trade remedy measures, including anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties, and safeguard measures. He has represented Chinese importers in several anti-dumping investigations, helping them obtain duty exclusions and reduced rates by demonstrating that their imports do not cause material injury to domestic industries. He is fluent in English and Korean and holds an LL.B. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Koguan Law School.

Mr. Huang advises on the import and export of specialized goods including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, machinery, and electronic components. He helps clients obtain the necessary import and export licenses, automatic import license, and other regulatory approvals required for specific product categories. He also assists with the classification of goods under China's commodity inspection and quarantine regime.

His sanctions compliance practice helps clients navigate the complex interaction between Chinese sanctions regulations and international sanctions regimes. Mr. Huang conducts sanctions risk assessments, screens counterparties against Chinese and international sanctions lists, and advises on compliance policies that address the differing requirements of Chinese and foreign sanctions regimes operating in parallel.

Mr. Huang regularly conducts trade compliance training programs for foreign companies, covering topics such as the customs declaration process, record-keeping requirements, internal compliance controls, and responding to customs audits and investigations. He has developed a comprehensive trade compliance audit methodology that has been adopted by several multinational companies for their China operations. He is a licensed Customs Declaration Specialist and holds an LL.M. in International Trade Law from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His bilingual proficiency in English and Korean, combined with his deep knowledge of Northeast Asian trade patterns, makes him a uniquely qualified advisor for foreign companies trading through Northeast China's border crossings.

Mr. Huang provides training to foreign clients on trade compliance best practices in China, covering topics such as the customs declaration process, record-keeping obligations, internal compliance controls, and responding to customs audits. His training programs are highly practical, drawing on real cases and common compliance failures to illustrate key concepts.

He has published several articles on customs and trade law issues in Chinese legal journals and is a frequent speaker at trade compliance conferences. He holds an LL.M. in International Trade Law from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and maintains close relationships with customs officials in the Changchun Customs District, enabling him to provide practical guidance on local customs practices.

Mr. Huang advises foreign companies investing in Jilin's agricultural and food processing sectors on the import and export requirements for agricultural products, including compliance with China's phytosanitary standards, food safety law, and the specialized customs procedures applicable to agricultural imports.

Mr. Huang has advised several international clients on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in China, a procedurally complex area that requires careful navigation of China's civil procedure rules and the principle of reciprocity. He has represented clients in cases involving recognition of judgments from courts in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and South Korea, developing a thorough understanding of how Chinese courts apply the reciprocity requirement in practice.
