Part I: Nuts & Bolts of Boycott Provisions

The first part of this program will consist of introductions to the U.S. Department of Commerce Restrictive Trade Practice and Boycotts regulations, part 760 of the Export Administration Regulations, (“EAR”) EAR, the Boycott Provisions (section 999) of the Internal Revenue Code of the US Department of Treasury, and the Canadian Government Policy on International Economic Boycotts.

Our expert panel will explain the nuts and bolts of each regulation, including comparing differences in jurisdictional reach to both US and non-US subsidiaries, contrasting the

prohibited conduct of the three regimes and explaining each regime’s reporting requirements.

Part II: Application and Enforcement of Anti-boycott Regulations

The second half of the program will both explain and enumerate upon certain of the less restrictive "exceptions" in the application of U.S. Anti-boycott laws.

Further, an experienced private practitioner as well as attorneys from the petrochemical and defense industries — with the pointers from the Government Representatives — will review a series of examples of specific anti-boycott language and explain the principles of analysis in keeping within the perimeters of the regulations, in order to familiarize the unwary in keeping with compliance. This program will offer participants the opportunity to learn the key provisions of U.S. and Canadian Anti-boycott law and apply these provisions to actual examples of Anti-boycott language drawn from real life.
