Arbitration — Does the contract point to Tianjin Arbitration Commission or a Tianjin arbitration seat?

When the city layer is relevant
Use the Tianjin layer when the legal fact follows the port, local industrial operation, FTZ or a Tianjin dispute forum.
If none apply, start from the national practice guide. If one applies, use the local practice pathway that matches the workstream.
Province → city
Start with the regulator, port, plant, entity, workforce or forum. Maritime jurisdiction and inland operating location may point to separate workstreams.

Before you contact counsel
Use these Tianjin checks before you instruct counsel. Port / shipping / customs: Does the matter concern cargo, freight forwarding, shipping, customs or another Tianjin port activity? Arbitration: Does the contract point to Tianjin Arbitration Commission or a Tianjin arbitration seat? FTZ / Binhai operation: Is the entity or project connected to the Tianjin Pilot FTZ or Binhai New Area? Local manufacturing / workforce: Is the factory, employee group, lease or material contract located in Tianjin?
Forums named on this page: Tianjin Arbitration Commission (TAC); Tianjin Maritime Court; China (Tianjin) Pilot Free Trade Zone; Beijing–Tianjin coordination. The contract, the claim, and the location of assets decide whether any of them is the right forum.
