Is your company in compliance with import and export laws? Do you have sufficient controls to manage this risk area? This session will cover: a general overview of import and export laws with a focus on US requirements but also a discussion of the proliferation of laws outside the US (e.g., the Malaysian Strategic Trade Act); how to manage a global trade compliance program; and a discussion of specific trade compliance challenges. Most companies think AML and KYC laws are limited to financial industry companies, considering the recent enforcement action against HSBC, but in fact, this presents a compliance issue for all companies to some degree. And these are not just US laws — there are similar restrictions in other jurisdictions, especially Europe.
