of
technology, services, equipment, goods, software, and information
to foreign
nationals and foreign countries?
Does your company have a Proactive Strategic Business Approach to
entering
International Markets?
Do you know the Key Concepts When Negotiating the Sale of Goods and Services Internationally?
Do you know that your products are not being used in sanctioned
and embargoed
countries? The Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset
Control
OFAC) regulates sanctions and embargoes, and you could
unknowingly be in
violation of these regulations.
Do you know how to determine if Your Company’s Product will
Require a
Licensure and /or otherwise comply with US Export Controls and
that if you
are in violation of these export regulations, you could be fined,
lose your
export privileges, and possibly imprisoned?
