U.S. export control regulations affect all U.S. companies regardless of company size or industry. Over the last few years, the U.S. government has increased its enforcement activities and significantly increased the penalties for violations. Do not become one of the unfortunate companies facing costly penalties due to unawareness of U.S. export regulations or insufficient export compliance programs in place.
Join us on November 17th for a full day workshop focusing on U.S. export controls and compliance. Expert speakers will discuss U.S. export regulations, determining license requirements, and developing a compliance program.
Additionally, a small panel of exporters will share their experiences and how they approach export compliance.
What topics will be covered in the workshop?
- An overview of export controls and what they mean to your company;
- How to determine if your company needs an export control license;
- How to establish export compliance programs;
- Disclosures; i.e., what to do when the unexpected occurs; and
- Recent developments in export compliance.
Who should attend the workshop?
- Any company that is currently or considering exporting and wants to develop a better understanding of U.S. export regulations;
- Any company that is currently or considering exporting and would like a refresher course on export regulations; and
- Any company that does not currently have an export compliance program in place is strongly encouraged to come.
