When you operate globally like CDM Smith, it literally opens a world of opportunities - and risks. As an international organization with business that flows back and forth across oceans and borders, it's important that we comply with all applicable import, export and trade compliance laws as well as the laws of the countries in which we conduct business.

Roadmap for Success

• If your job involves working internationally or especially working on behalf of the U.S. Federal Government internationally, stay up to date and comply with all applicable laws, such as the U.S. Export Administration Act and the Export Administration Regulations. Trade laws address:
• • Import and Customs Activities - to ensure accurate tariff classification, value, country of origin, product marking and other elements.
  • Exports and Export Controls - to regulate or restrict the export of items due to national security, foreign policy, anti-terrorism or non-proliferation.
  • Trade Embargos and Economic Sanctions - to prohibit or restrict business dealings with certain countries or entities.
  • Anti-boycott - to prohibit participation in unsanctioned boycotts or a refusal to trade with a specific country.
• Remember that employees outside the United States may not re-export any commodity, technology or software unless authorized. This includes foreign-manufactured items that are a direct product of US software or technology.
• When in doubt, never hesitate to reach out to the Compliance Department for help.
