Export Controls
Overview
Export controls and sanctions regulations present significant challenges and potential compliance risks for global companies. The U.S. government regulates transfers of goods, technology, software, and other products and services to foreign destinations as well as to foreign persons within the United States and abroad. These controls are far reaching, extending to direct transfers of goods, technology, software, and services from the United States, "reexports" of certain U.S.-origin items and technology from one foreign country to another, and reexports of certain foreign-manufactured items containing U.S. content. They also apply to transfers of technology to foreign persons within the United States and U.S. persons working for foreign companies. Other governments have their own export control and sanction regulatory regimes, creating complex compliance obligations with practical and commercial implications for businesses, including problems with inventory management and shipping delays.
