Asia Pacific Export Controls 2015 Update

Special Focus on Control Lists and Classification

The last few months have been one of the most robust single periods of Asia export control development in a decade.  There will continue to be changes as we move through 2015 and into 2016, with some countries making modifications to their existing export controls and others taking important steps to establish a national export control system for the first time.  One of the biggest areas of change has been in national export control lists.  Since the beginning of the year, Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are among APAC systems that have updated their export control lists, while the Philippines and Thailand have announced plans to introduce licensing requirements for trade in items that would be found on the European Union (EU) Dual-Use List.  With these changes and others, the Asia Pacific export control landscape is shifting dramatically, and companies’ approaches to and compliance with APAC export controls will need to shift as well.

This webinar is intended to help companies in all industry sectors understand the changes that have taken place and will be taking place in APAC export controls, with special emphasis on what the changing and existing APAC control lists will mean for export control classification and compliance.

Specifically, this webinar will:

• Deliver a comprehensive overview of the key export control-related developments in the Asia Pacific in 2015 and a look ahead to 2016;

• Help companies understand the implications of recent changes resulting from Australia’s own “export control reform”, Japan’s amendment of its Export Control Order, and the announcements by Thailand and the Philippines of pending export control legislation;

• Provide a thorough review of the updates to the export control lists of Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and how they compare to other APAC system control lists (including those of China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore);

• Offer practical tips for classifying—and maintaining the classifications of—products against APAC export control lists and how to work with government agencies to secure official classifications of items;

• Note the potential penalties for noncompliance and if they can be mitigated through self-disclosure; and,

• Include URLs and links to current copies of all the updated export control lists and regulations covered in the webinar (in English where available).

This webinar will provide PowerPoint slides and include live video and commentary from Jay Nash who specializes in non-US trade controls and compliance. Mr. Nash has worked with national governments from every region of the world to provide guidance and support on establishing domestic export control systems, and developing compliance tools and resources for industry.
