Our expertise
In practice
The automotive supply chain is built on related-party imports, which makes Special Valuation Branch proceedings, customs valuation, and classification the sector's persistent regulatory workload. We manage SVB matters end to end for OEMs and tier-1 suppliers: questionnaire responses, transfer-pricing-consistent valuation documentation, and renewals. We also defend classification and valuation disputes through adjudication and appeal.
On the indirect tax side, we advise on GST treatment across the component chain: parts versus accessories classification, warranty and free-of-cost supplies, job work structures, and the input tax credit positions that determine real landed cost.
Electrification, localization pressure, and shifting trade policy are redrawing automotive economics faster than most planning cycles can track. We support automotive and mobility leadership teams with the strategic side of that transition: market and portfolio strategy, localization and sourcing decisions with the duty and incentive mathematics done properly, and governance structures for joint ventures and technology partnerships.
Because our trade, tax, and strategy practices work as one team, the commercial recommendation and its regulatory execution arrive together rather than in sequence.
