Advanced Topics in Customs Compliance Conference 2026
The United States has intensified export restrictions on advanced technologies — from semiconductors and AI to quantum computing, biotech, and critical minerals — in a strategic effort to confront the military, strategic, and trade relationship with China. At the same time, China has responded with its own countermeasures, including new export controls on rare earths and anti-sanctions laws, adding layers of complexity for global businesses. In this session, Scott Maberry, partner at Sheppard Mullin and a leading authority on international trade regulation, will provide an insider’s perspective on the rapidly evolving U.S.–China strategic environment. He will examine recent changes to trade policy, enforcement, and how coordination with allies is reshaping compliance expectations.
Attendees will learn:
- The scope and impact of recent U.S. restrictions on semiconductors, AI, and other advanced technologies.
- How Chinese counter-restrictions affect U.S. exporters and global supply chains.
- Best practices for compliance, risk assessment, and voluntary disclosures.
- Practical strategies for balancing opportunity and compliance in China-related transactions.
- How to deepen your understanding of the complex policy agendas of the current administration.
This session will equip exporters, compliance officers, and counsel with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the challenges of U.S.–China technology decoupling while minimizing legal and business risk.
