Background

Export controls are the laws and regulations made by the state for the export of commodities in order to control export countries and export commodities for the purpose of political, economic, military and foreign policies. In fact, most Chinese companies are only vaguely familiar with export control regulations. But the incident of ZTE’s export sanctions made them aware that the consequences of violating export controls or sanctions are tremendously high and include fines, imprisonment and/or reputational damages. 2017 has been an active year in Asia Pacific export controls and 2018 will continue that trend. Staying up to date with export controls and sanctions should be a top priority for any company trading globally.

In 2017, the course "US Export Control and Embargo Regulations and Practice" was successfully held. At the request of the majority of participants, Ficient Global will host the course "Export Control Regulations and Practice of Asia-Pacific Countries".
