Practice Area
International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

Last Sunday the governments of the United States, Mexico, and Canada announced the conclusion of the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)1 and released a draft of a replacement treaty with the preliminary title “United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement” (USMCA), which is still subject to non-substantive adjustments.2 NAFTA remains in effect until this text is signed and internal constitutional requirements are fulfilled in each of the three countries, including congressional approval in the United States—which, some commentators argue, is still uncertain.3 The deal is likely to be signed before November 30th—the last day of the term of current Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.4
