International trade issues have, and will, always play a major role in global news. As in years past, there has been a significant amount of increased regulatory development under the auspices of e.g. the export control reform, the new Union Customs Code (UCC) and changes to governmental systems facilitating international trade. There has also been an influx of increased trade regulations and enforcement cases, such as the Russia export restrictions, the fifth largest Foreign Corrupt Practices Act settlement since the law’s creation, and ongoing debates over the Iranian sanctions. Laws and regulations are not always as clear as they are initially meant to be. If you are able to read between the lines, to interpret the law with a free and creative mind you are able to benefit from the best possible solutions without breaking the rules. It may often not be the beaten path, and may require organisational efforts and change management, but it will be worth your business while!
