Export controls

Sanctions and export controls in international trade.

Export control regimes, sanctions screening, and dual-use goods compliance across international trade corridors.

Sanctions and export controls have expanded significantly across major trading jurisdictions, with material implications for supply chain sourcing, counterparty relationships, and payment flows. The pace of change makes static compliance programs inadequate.

Organizations operating internationally need a clear view of applicable regimes, screening obligations, and how controls interact across the jurisdictions in which they operate. Sanctions exposure is not confined to direct dealings — it extends to indirect counterparty relationships and supply chain intermediaries.

Common risk areas

Where organizations typically encounter exposure in this area.

  • Dealings with sanctioned parties through intermediary or correspondent relationships
  • Export of dual-use goods or technology without required authorization
  • Failure to screen across multiple applicable regimes simultaneously
  • Supply chain sourcing from restricted jurisdictions or entities
