Global Trade Compliance

Globalization, terrorism and threats of proliferation have led to an increase in the enforcement of U.S. export control laws by the federal government. These laws provide for severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive technology to foreign citizens. Compliance is the responsibility of the exporter and it is necessary to be aware of the dangers of disclosing sensitive technology in order to avoid inadvertent violation since some of the penalties are criminal in nature and lack of intent is not a defense.

While it is increasingly important to pay due diligence when it comes to exporting, it is very important to make sure due diligence is paid when importing as well. Proper documentation and recordkeeping for classification, valuation and free-trade agreements are a must to maintain compliance with the US Customs and Border Control.
