Logistics
Freight forwarders, port operators, customs agents and last-mile delivery platforms.
Understanding the logistics operating environment.
KRA Customs, KPA and the Northern Corridor authorities each apply pressure across the logistics value chain. Employment and contracting risk continues to grow with last-mile expansion, and the regulatory perimeter around gig and contractor models is no longer a grey area.
Freight forwarders are absorbing customs-valuation pressure, port and inland-depot operators are renegotiating concessions, and last-mile platforms are formalising contractor relationships under closer ELRC scrutiny than the sector is used to. Cross-border trade documentation continues to be a recurring flashpoint.
Our logistics practice is built around the combined tax, employment, regulatory and disputes capability the sector actually needs. The same team that defends a KRA classification challenge can restructure the underlying contracting model so the issue does not recur, rather than treating each assessment as an isolated event.
