Export controls

Indirect tax

Effective management of global trade decisions and obligations is an important factor in a global supply chain. Today, multinational groups must integrate their customs and international trade processes into their overall business strategy and international trade operations.

Export controls are regulations designed to support national and international security measures. These restrictions apply not only to military-related items but also dual-use items, including goods, software and technology widely used outside the defense sector in industries such as telecommunications, aerospace, life sciences, oil and gas, nuclear energy, chemicals and manufacturing.
