Compliance with foreign law

When making exports, every American company must know the laws that can influence its
export. Therefore, it is a duty of the exporter not only to trust the information that can be
obtained from the client, but also to know the foreign law
The wrong information can have serious consequences when importing your product or the
resale is not profitable. Therefore, it is important to know the following requirements:

1. Industry standards: identify the requirements required to manufacture the product before
shipping, given the directives that the European community has put on some products, such
as toys, machinery, electronic devices, among others. In the event that the product does not
meet the minimum requirements, it is possible that seizures or fines may be generated that
may damage operating profits.

ISO quality bodies are increasingly important for European sales. Therefore, it is necessary
to rely on entities that contain or group the rules of foreign governments by product.
2. Foreign customs laws: there are countries that have rules such as the quantity of products
entering their country, the tariffs according to the tariff classification, the anti-dumping
confirmation.

If these rules are violated, fines such as twice the value of the investigation (France), five
times the value of this (India) or confiscations as in China may occur, which is why in the
slightest doubt that is obtained on the Export is seeking an administrative decision from the
foreign customs agency, a process that although delays the production and delivery aircraft
can be beneficial for both parties.

3. Government contracting: any sale made to government agencies involves special

procedures and documents, although they may also qualify for customs duties or import
license exemptions.

4. Buy the American equivalent: the laws of the foreign government enact regulations that
grant special treatment to the products of your own country, therefore, it is necessary and
mandatory to verify if the products in the sales process are in those regulations.

5. Exchange controls and import licenses: some countries limit the amount of money that
can be used for the purchase of foreign products, it is important to determine if there is a
system of exchange control and, if necessary, in the country to which you are going to export
and the conditions to obtain those licenses.

6. Value-added tax: these taxes apply to imported goods, therefore, customs duties must be
paid plus value added. When the importer marks and resells the products, he will collect the
tax from the buyer, which he must remit to the tax authorities after taking a credit for the
taxes owed for the import.

7. Specialized laws: some regulations of the United States regulate all manufactured
products before entering into a sales agreement, quotation or delivery dates to a customer.
