UK/EU Export Controls and Sanctions 101

Covering the basics and awareness on export controls and sanctions US companies need for operations in the UK or EU!

All companies with operations in the UK and/or the European Union particularly – not just those dealing in defense or dual-use items – need to be aware of the export controls and sanctions regulations that may apply. Those regulations, while similar to their US equivalents, also have significant differences. Businesses that understand the requirements and have effective processes to manage them will be best positioned to navigate the rules efficiently and avoid the penalties of non-compliance. You will gain a clear understanding of the basics of UK/EU export controls and sanctions, how the UK/EU rules differ from those of the US, pitfalls to avoid, and practical guidance on how to ensure compliance.

This webinar will provide a practical introduction to:

• The strategic context
• The legal framework and regulators
• What items are controlled
• What activities are controlled
• What licences are available
• How licence applications are assessed
• Compliance best practices
• Audits, violations, and penalties
• What will change with Brexit

The webinar will be presented through PowerPoint slides and will include live video and commentary from Richard Tauwhare, a UK expert who brings over 40 years of experience to his clients as a senior foreign service official, consultant and trainer.

Webinar participants are invited to submit questions during the webinar; the final 30 minutes of the webinar will be allotted to answering attendees’ questions. Each registrant will receive a copy of the presentation, certificate of completion, and access to the webinar recording. Register even if you cannot attend; we will send you access to the webinar recording along with a copy of the presentation!
