Overview

The scope and impact of international sanctions is expanding and is increasingly reflected in every part of the supply chain. In Episode 3 of the monthly CKC podcast, we discuss three aspects related to trade and movement of goods:

  1. How uniform is the application of controls across Europe when it comes to international sanctions? 
  2. Customs compliance is a big topic. Is sanctions compliance just an extension of that or a new, additional workload?
  3. What is your advice to companies in case of accidental non-compliance?

Participants in the discussion: Anthony Buckley, Chair of the Customs Knowledge Institute, Ireland; Kevin Shakespeare, Director of Strategic Projects and International Development at the Institute of Export & International Trade, the United Kingdom; Armin Belle, Owner of A H B Consultancy GmbH, Germany; Enrika Naujoke, Director of Lithuanian Customs Practitioners Association, Lithuania.
