U.S. Antiboycott Regulations: Clarified and Demystified

They’re part of the Export Administration Regulations, but they’re not export controls. They’re highly relevant to international business, but you don’t have to export anything to violate them. They’re regularly enforced by the Bureau of Industry and Security, but many affected businesses have never heard of them.

We’re referring to U.S. antiboycott regulations — a complex set of requirements within the EAR which prohibit US companies from furthering certain aspects of foreign (non-U.S.) boycotts, most notably the Arab League boycott of Israel. If you do international business (or would like to!) this is an important webinar for you. If you already do business in the Middle East, or you have subsidiaries active there, it’s essential that you understand these regulations. Customer-facing personnel who manage the sales cycle, negotiate contracts, review purchase orders, and take orders should know how to recognize these potential trouble spots.
