As trade controls compliance becomes more complex, the need for rigorous and current compliance programs is increasingly pressing.

Part one defined and differentiated the most common trade controls, including sanctions, export controls, customs and tariffs. Part two explored the current enforcement landscape. Part three considered which companies are at greatest risk, what elements of a business influence that risk and the most likely ways companies can run afoul of trade controls.
