Summarises new export compliance measures and their underlying rationale. The past twenty years have seen great advances in international trade facilitation, with globalisation really taking hold in the past decade.

process changes that require careful consideration. The wrong decision could spell dire consequences for an organisation and mistakes could prove very costly.
