Event description

Know your International Buyer or Seller.

How to conduct due diligence on third parties.

In today’s global marketplace, your business is only as compliant as the partners you choose to do business with. Third-party sellers, agents, logistics providers, and other intermediaries are frequently involved in enforcement actions by U.S. Customs, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), OFAC, and under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)—making effective due diligence on customers, agents, and suppliers a critical line of defense against legal, financial, and reputational risk.

🛡️ We’re hosting a free webinar to walk through practical approaches to third-party due diligence in international trade.
