Commercial law
International trade is vital for the world economy. International commercial law is intended to organise international relations in the most efficient way possible. Part of that is undertaken at international level, as set out in the Vienna Sales Convention, and part is determined by national law. Think of American oranges bought by a Dutch buyer who in turn acts as a fruit supplier to a German supermarket.
Customs law
Customs law also plays a role in this. Do import duties, excise duties or anti-dumping levies have to be paid on import into the European Union? Has the tax return been prepared correctly or will customs send an additional tax assessment/claim? Is the AEO certification being complied with? Legal proceedings are sometimes required, even with the Court of Appeal, and this can be taken care of by Rowin Corporation BV.
