If your job depends on informed compliance, you need International Trade Today. Delivered every business day and available any time online, only International Trade Today helps you stay current on the increasingly complex international trade regulatory environment.
The goal of this module is to help exporters better understand the antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
Online Training Room Especially Useful for Small and Medium-Sized Exporters
The online training room, which was unveiled in March 2008 to help exporters and reexporters (especially small and medium-sized enterprises) understand and comply with U.S. regulations, is part of BIS' ongoing effort to improve outreach.
BIS will continue to create and supplement the materials regularly.
