International Tax Centers of Excellence

Covering major countries and regions around the world, the International Tax Centers of Excellence located in the United States assist companies with effective tax planning that involves multiple jurisdictions. Center professionals have firsthand, country-focused business knowledge and are steeped in the tax laws, industries, and business environments of their countries of focus. The centers offer quick access to home-country tax knowledge and serve as ready access points to the worldwide resources of KPMG International member firms. But the centers' true strength lies in the collaboration among the centers to address international tax issues. This collaboration provides multiple perspectives and can assist clients in identifying alternative tax planning approaches to business opportunities and challenges.

Trade and Customs Services

The ICS practice also offers a wide array of trade advisory and risk management services through a focused team of Trade and Customs Services professionals who have extensive experience working with clients and interacting with customs officials — both U.S. and non-U.S. — on various trade programs. These individuals include former U.S. Customs and Border Protection import specialists and field auditors, former Bureau of Industry and Security personnel, custom brokers, and transportation and logistics professionals. KPMG's Trade and Customs professionals can help clients reduce supply chain costs and achieve operational efficiencies in such areas as customs duty savings, import and export compliance, foreign trade zone implementation, and preferential trade program qualification.
