Trade Laws
Economic sanctions are trade restrictions imposed by governments that prohibit doing business or interacting with certain entities or individuals who may be sanctioned due to illegal activity.
All employees are required to follow these and all applicable international trade laws. If you have a role in the exchange of information or technology from one country or another, work with your manager and the Legal Team to follow all trade rules and properly document the materials, technology, or services that are being imported or exported.
Sanctions and other trade regulations are constantly evolving. If you don’t know whether trade or export controls apply to your scope of work, don’t take a chance. Contact the Legal Team.
Where this shows up:
- Sourcing and onboarding new customers
- Transmission of data or goods from country to county
- Entering into agreements with third parties, particularly individuals or companies outside of the U.S.
Key Takeaways
- We take our responsibility seriously. We comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
