Compliance
Customs practice is gradually moving away from taxation to become a compliance issue, with growing needs in terms of sanctions, export control, and new regulations likely to constitute non-tariff barriers.
As with customs, traceability is at the heart of the issues facing operators, who have to consider the penal risk induced by their international development and the multiplication of specific regulations.
Our management of compliance issues is characterized by a combined approach with customs matters, as well as dual assistance in consulting and litigation.
We assist our clients with all compliance issues, particularly those related to:
- sanctions and embargoes;
- war materials and dual-use goods regulations;
- CITES (Washington Convention) and cultural property regulations;
- deforestation and forced labor regulations.
In this context, we work on :
- flow modeling and structuring of the compliance function;
- product classification;
- obtaining and managing licenses and authorizations;
- creation and deployment of management procedures;
- auditing, risk analysis and support in the event of errors or breaches;
- selection (invitation to tender) and scoping of customs clearance service providers;
- drafting of specific contractual clauses.
