Understand how United States export control rules impact Asian-Pacific and other Non-US businesses
United States trade control laws and regulations impact companies who use or re-sell US-origin products, components or technology. The US Government can impose serious penalties for US and non-US companies who fail to comply with the extra-territorial US rules (including monetary fines, a loss of US Government contracts, or a complete ban from receiving any US items).
US Export Control Reform has changed the rules and increased the risk of serious penalties for non-compliance.
Many items and technologies have shifted from the USML to the CCL with completely different license requirements and jurisdiction. It is essential that companies understand the implications of Reform and update their compliance programs to take advantage of the changes and avoid costly violations. Both seminars include detailed explanations of the reform changes and practical advice on how to adapt compliance practices to take full advantage of the changes while remaining compliant.
TWO BACK-TO-BACK SEMINARS:
- US Commercial & Military Export Controls & Embargoes - 2-DAY SEMINAR - 20-21 April 2015
- US ITAR Defense Trade Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - 22-23 April 2015
Very informative. What I liked best about the seminar is that the material was presented not just in a theoretical way, but with the presenters having a real understanding of business practices and issues in relation to the regulations. Great presenters!
