Course Description

Much of today’s global economy is built on trade. Information, products, and services are constantly moving around the world. Certain products, however, require an extra step before they can be exported from the U.S. For companies doing business globally, all personnel involved in exports must understand the impact of the export laws of the United States.

This course reviews key issues and concepts in U.S. export laws and how they affect employees’ day-to-day job operations. Additionally, it helps employees understand the risks associated with violating trade laws. Specific topics include an overview of US export laws, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), deemed exports, embargoes and sanctions, red flags and risk areas, and government expectations.
