Brain Trust understands that entering new and foreign markets is a vital business strategy for multinational corporations. Inspired by the goal of free trade promoted by the World Trade Organization (WTO), countries are increasingly adopting the trend of negotiating bilateral, multilateral, or regional trade agreements. Although the aim of these trade agreements is to liberalize trade and protect investment, most multinational corporations still meet immediate and significant difficulties in terms of business, due to the application of complex regulations and the uncertainty of legislation in the host states.

One of Brain Trust's strengths is assisting clients to defend anti-dumping investigation. The purpose of anti-dumping investigation is to reveal whether foreign producers have exported large quantities of products at unreasonably low price so as to injure domestic industries. If yes, then proper anti-dumping duties suitable for the protection of the domestic industries will be imposed. However, collateral damages may be caused to domestic importers who will eventually bear anti-dumping duties though apparently foreign producers are main targets under anti-dumping investigation. Therefore, opposing opinions in accordance with law must be submitted to the competent authorities as soon as possible for preventing unfavorable outcome if foreign producers and domestic importers are against the anti-dumping duties on certain products. Brain Trust can provide effective defense strategy under Taiwan's anti-dumping Investigation. The anti-dumping procedures under Taiwanese laws can be found here.
