In this webinar, two lawyers with abundant experience and knowledge will provide lectures that address several topics in U.S. trade control law and their application to Japanese corporations doing business in the United States.
We start with providing an overview of U.S. economic sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”). We provide practical examples of how sanctions apply to persons and entities and provide recent updates in U.S. sanctions laws. We then discuss U.S. export controls maintained by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. This webinar will then conclude with an overview of how Japanese corporations can build best practices for complying with applicable U.S. trade control laws.
Only members can watch it.
