In commercial cooperation, "back-to-back" payment clauses often lead to performance deadlocks, putting the realization of creditor's rights into a state of uncertainty or even permanent delay. Recently, Attorney Larry and Attorney Laney secured a complete victory for their client in a contract dispute with a cross-border financial enterprise. The court upheld all of our client’s claims and dismissed all counterclaims brought by the opposing party.

In cross-border trade, one of the biggest challenges for buyers is how to quickly secure compensation when sellers default. Recently, Attorney Avon Zhao from Larry Zhou’s legal team at Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office successfully represented a U.S. company in a dispute against a supplier in Zhejiang, securing nearly USD 80000 in compensation through court-led mediation. In this case, the U.S. company had fully paid for the goods as contractually agreed, but the Zhejiang supplie

In international trade, every transaction—regardless of its scale—is critical to the buyer. However, when quality issues arise, cross-border distances often make it challenging for buyers to effectively pursue accountability. In 2025, a U.S. company purchased several machines from a supplier in Hebei, China. However, after the machines arrived, they were found that multiple machines had quality issues and could not be used normally. The U.S. company sought compensation from t

Recently, a foreign trade company in Shanghai (hereinafter referred to as the "Client") reached a cooperation with its customer in El Salvador to sell multiple types of equipment, involving a relatively high transaction amount. To ensure the smooth progress of this cross-border transaction and to prevent risks, the Client engaged the legal team of Lawyer Larry Zhou from Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office to provide specialized legal services, with Lawyer Larry handling the matter

Navigating Complex Legal Landscapes Lawyers Larry Zhou and Avon Zhao from Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office recently assisted a client from Dubai. This client had registered his marriage with a Chinese woman in Yunnan, China. However, the couple has been separated since 2013. The client has been living and working in Dubai for an extended period, while his wife has settled in Thailand. She only returns to her hometown in China occasionally and without a fixed schedule. After year

In international sales of goods, malicious default on the balance payment by overseas buyers is a high-frequency dispute, which not only infringes on the rights and interests of Chinese suppliers but also triggers capital turnover risks. Recently, our law firm successfully recovered $50,000 overdue balance payment from an Iranian buyer on behalf of a supplier in Shandong, efficiently resolving the cross-border debt collection challenge. In early 2024, the supplier entered int

In mid-2025, a Hong Kong-based foreign trade enterprise imported steel from a company in the Middle East. After signing a framework contract, the foreign trade enterprise issued two batches of orders successively, with the payment term agreed as irrevocable and non-transferable sight letter of credit (L/C) for both. During the performance of the first batch of orders, the Hong Kong enterprise issued the L/C as contracted. The Middle Eastern company shipped the goods and submi

In July 2025, a U.S. enterprise (hereinafter referred to as the "Client") planned to entrust a Chinese supplier with the development, design, sampling, and production of cleaning products. Meanwhile, the project involved trademark licensing and exclusive distribution arrangements. To safeguard its rights and interests throughout the entire project lifecycle, the Client retained the legal team led by Lawyer Larry Zhou from Landing (Shenzhen) Law Office, with Lawyer Bryan Zhang

In October 2025, a Netherlands-based company (hereinafter referred to as the "Client") planned to engage two suppliers in China—one located in Shanghai and the other in Shenzhen—for the mass production of its designed products. The Client provided complete design drawings, technical specifications, and production plans, requiring the suppliers to strictly adhere to these standards during manufacturing. To ensure the smooth progress of the transaction and mitigate potential in

In cross-border trade, many exporters assume “shipment made, payment received—case closed,” only to discover hidden legal risks after the deal is done.  Recently, a Foshan manufacturer was hauled before the International Commercial Arbitration Court ("ICAC") at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry by its Russian buyer, who alleged quality defects and demanded damages. Caught between contesting the claims and ignoring the case (but risking later enforcement), the Fosha

In January 2022, a Ghanaian company encountered a chemical materials exporter through Made-in-China.com , who claimed to be a Tianjin-based company in China. Subsequently, the parties negotiated via email, and the seller issued proforma invoices, confirming two purchase orders in January and May 2022, respectively.  In the proforma invoices provided by the seller, the letterhead displayed the name of the seller’s Hong Kong company, and the payment was directed to the Hong Kon

In 2025, the cooperation between a South African enterprise (hereinafter referred to as the "Client") and a factory in Dongguan, China, reached an impasse: the South African Client refused to take delivery of the goods and demanded the factory refund the advance payment, suspecting that the factory had failed to produce the goods as required or that the products did not meet the agreed standards; in response, the Dongguan factory stated that all goods had been fully manufactu

In 2023, an enterprise in Shanghai entrusted an international freight forwarding company in Shenzhen to transport the entire production line of product equipment to its newly-built factory in Mexico. The two parties agreed to adopt a “double clearance with tax included” model, where the freight forwarding company would be responsible for all matters including import and export customs declaration and destination port delivery.

In international trade of goods, changes in tax or customs policies can directly impact ongoing transactions, often putting foreign...
