Our Trade and Customs Compliance Group helps members stay informed and compliant with the latest legislative changes in export controls and sanctions. Made up mainly of trade compliance specialists from large companies, the group maintains strong connections with our affiliate members in the legal sector and engages regularly with key government bodies.
The group contributes to government consultations on export controls policy and played a significant role in shaping the technology sanctions against Russia in 2022.
