The only problem I've ever run into is with IP geo-location providers using=
the country of origin of the original assignments to determine the locale =
of the IP. Major CDN providers and content owners then use these geo-locat=
ion providers to provide geography specific content or for content localiza=
tion.
A problem we saw at GC when using our ARIN space in APAC (which I realize i=
s the inverse of your situation) is that our enterprise customers often got=
redirected to a cloud server in the United States rather than in their ori=
ginating country, and this was in spite of their block being SWIP'd out to =
them in that country.
It's conceivable that you could have some sort of similar problem depending=
on the nature of your project and how you are planning to use their IP's.

Subject: Announcing APNIC IP's in ARIN region
Hello,
I was wondering if there are any problems originating APNIC IP's in the ARI=
N region through transit providers? I have a Singapore-based prospect who w=
ould like to do business with us, but I'm not sure if I'll run into problem=
s originating their IP's in the US - which were assigned to them from APNIC=
.
Best regards,
