Ensure Your Export Compliance Program Meets U.S. Government Requirements – And Minimize The Risk Of Liability For Third Party Violations!
Strict U.S. Government export compliance expectations have made it even more challenging for U.S. and foreign companies to achieve global export compliance. The Departments of State, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security are vigorously scrutinizing U.S. exporters and their foreign trading partners to ensure strict adherence to export controls and economic sanctions laws.
In addition to implementing an effective export compliance program for your organization, it is equally critical to vet and monitor the compliance status of your business partners and intermediaries, including freight forwarders, customs agents, distributors and re-sellers. The failure to identify critical risk factors at the due diligence stage could potentially expose your organization to costly penalties for third party violations.
As the risks of criminal and civil liability continue to rise, you cannot afford to miss American Conference Institute’s 13th National Forum on Export Controls. This event stands apart as the forum for export professionals to benchmark their global export compliance practices with an impressive speaker faculty of government officials, leading exporters and private practice experts.
