American Conference Institute/The Canadian Institute’s 2nd Industry Forum on

U.S. Export & Re-Export Compliance for Canadian Operations

Wednesday, January 30 to Thursday, January 31, 2013
TBD, Toronto, ON
The Only Comprehensive, Practical Forum on How to Reduce Heightened,
Unique U.S. Export & Re-Export Compliance Risks in Canada.

Back in Toronto by popular demand, American Conference Institute/The Canadian Institute’s 2nd Industry Forum on “U.S. Export & Re-Export Compliance for Canadian Operations” is the only comprehensive, practical event in Canada that will allow you to network and hear from senior U.S. and Canadian government and industry professionals from the high technology, aerospace, defense, satellite, space and other industries. Benefit from Q & A and first-hand insights from senior U.S. and Canadian Government officials on export control reform, U.S. enforcement priorities, and the interaction between U.S. and Canadian export/re-export controls, privacy, human rights and security requirements.

Canadian firms, subsidiaries, affiliates, manufacturers, suppliers, freight forwarders and others that export, re-export or re-transfer U.S. export-controlled items, technical data, services and encryption materials must ensure strict compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and U.S. economic sanctions restrictions. Enforcement of U.S. export controls and economic sanctions is extra-territorial in reach, with U.S. officials targeting companies and individuals in Canada for investigations, audits, visits and harsh penalties.

Amid the new ITAR rule governing dual and third country nationals and deemed export/re-export rule under the EAR, it is critical to revisit the impact of these requirements on your export activities, employment practices, supply chain management, physical and virtual security procedures. Coupled with Canada’s Enhanced Security Strategy, it is also crucial to gain clarification on what U.S. and Canadian regulators expect for your export compliance program, security assessments, screening and supply chain management.  

Equally, it is critical to make sense of the maze of ECCNs under the EAR, how the EAR interacts with Canadian requirements, and how to comply with complex end-use, end- user and encryption controls under U.S. and Canadian regulations.

There has never been a more pressing time to ensure that you are fully incorporating U.S. export controls and Canadian export, human rights and privacy law requirements into a successful trade compliance program.
