Morning Session: US Export Controls and Sanctions Update There have been many recent changes to US export controls and sanctions laws and regulations that impacted North Dakota companies involved in the defense and commercial sectors. In addition, the new US President has promised to make changes to US sanctions programs. Join us at the US Export Controls and Sanctions Update on Thursday, April 13 as the North Dakota exporting community learns first-hand from Douglas Jacobson, an experienced international trade attorney based in Washington, DC, about the recent changes, issues and trends in export control policies, regulations and practices.
This update will provide useful and timely information on the changes to US export controls and sanctions and will provide practical information on how those changes impact possible business opportunities, while remaining compliant. Other key developments that will be discussed during the program include the continuation of the US Export Control Reform Process, modifications to the US embargoes on Iran, Cuba, Burma, and Sudan, and updates on the continued US sanctions on Russia and Crimea.
Afternoon Session: Understanding and Complying With the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
