International Trade Quarterly Update — Q1 2026
Our inaugural Asia Pacific International Trade Quarterly Update covers the key regulatory developments, enforcement actions, and trade negotiations that reshaped the region from January to March 2026. This edition covers nine jurisdictions — China, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam — and examines developments including the U.S. Supreme Court’s invalidation of IEEPA tariffs and the resulting IEEPA refund opportunity, China’s retaliatory trade barrier investigations, the landmark India–EU Free Trade Agreement, and a wave of tightening export controls and customs enforcement across Southeast Asia. For multinational companies managing cross-border supply chains, trade compliance, and tariff exposure in Asia Pacific, this briefing provides a concise and practical guide to the developments that matter most.
