<<< Import and Export Compliance >>>
In every country in which we do business, laws and regulations govern imports and exports. Many of these laws and regulations restrict or prohibit the physical shipment of products or the transfer or electronic transmission of software and technology to certain destinations, entities, and foreign persons. In many cases, the law requires an export license or other appropriate government approvals before an item may be shipped or transferred. We have a responsibility to comply with these laws and regulations. Therefore, we must clear all goods through customs and must not:
- Proceed with a transaction if we know that a violation has occurred or is about to occur;
- Transfer controlled software and technology unless appropriate authorizations are obtained; or
- Apply an inappropriate monetary value to goods and services Violations, even inadvertent ones, could result in significant fines and penalties, denial of export licenses, loss of export privileges, and/or customs inspections and delays. Because these laws and regulations are complex and unique in each country, we provide guidelines and training.
