The international trade environment in Asia and beyond, with its varying trade rules, regulations and compliance requirements, presents an exciting and challenging career opportunity that offers great cross-border exposure. PwC Singapore’s Trade Advisory Hub develops and takes to market a wide range of “assets” that help companies deal with the ever-increasingly complex field of international trade. Such assets could deal with technical customs matters, taxation matters, or broader supply chain management matters.
