Join Steve Berry, Director of Export & Import & Niamh O'Connor,  Customs Advisor & Head of Communications, as they focus on implementing sanctions and how these changes will affect the supply of your goods to Russia and importing certain goods into the UK - with the new third-country processing requirements. 

Focus On: Embargoes, Sanctions and End-Use Controls

This half-day session examines why companies and employees should be aware of embargoes and sanctions. Using the UK regulations as the primary guide, it will review the growth in sanctions on Russia, as well as current financial sanctions in place managed by OFSI. It concentrates mainly on the export of goods and includes a look at end-use, end-user and transit controls. Violating these controls can result in fines, reputation loss, and criminal charges.

Export and import controls aren't just red tape…. They are serious! The penalties are real, and the ghosts of mistakes past are hard to banish. So this Halloween, double-check your HS codes, origin declarations, OGEL conditions, and valuation methods. Because nothing's scarier than the words: "You are under investigation."
