US Trade Controls

Situations that are governed by US trade control laws can be complex. When involved in situations associated with export and import control, economic sanctions or antiboycott regulations, you may need to seek guidance from the law department. An affiliate located outside the US asks you to use an unknown forwarder to expedite a shipment to a new location. A European-based customer asks you to quote a price for parts. The end-use destination is Iran. You receive a request for information that asks about our company’s historical dealings with companies friendly to Israel. This course will help you recognize situations like these that might lead to trade control violations.
