Overview

In an interdependent international economy, the movement of goods and information across borders – whether as finished products, parts and components, demonstration models, or selling aids – is a fact of life.  A concomitant fact of life is the intricate web of regulations promulgated by United States agencies to oversee, control, and sometimes prohibit the  movement of such products and information outside the country and to control their further movement after they have passed our borders.  Sheppard Mullin advises and represents U.S. and foreign clients in connection with the wide range of compliance and enforcement issues relating to the export and re-export of products and information under regulations promulgated and administered by the Departments of Commerce and State, as well as the economic sanctions rules of the Treasury Department.  We assist clients with:
