About
It has been a year of significant movement on the export controls front. As the United States takes a more aggressive approach to enforcement in all areas of international trade regulation and national security, the Departments of State, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security are vigorously policing the export activities of U.S. firms and their foreign trading partners to ensure strict compliance with export control and economic sanctions laws.
Rising government expectations and new regulatory standards increase risks for U.S. and foreign companies in our increasingly global business environment. Export controls are becoming ever more complex and restrictive, and U.S. exporters must develop effective internal export control compliance programs that do not unduly hamper legitimate trade. Civil and criminal penalties are rising, cases are high profile and yesterday's knowledge is simply not enough to make the right decisions today.
