Asia Pacific Strategic Trade Controls is the new book from the publishers of WorldECR, the journal of export controls and sanctions. Commenting on the book’s launch, Tom Blass, editor of WorldECR, said: ‘If your company is considering a joint venture in Australia, distributing in Malaysia, procuring from India, or outsourcing to Pakistan, we’re confident that this new publication will prove an invaluable helpmate to your compliance function.’

The region encapsulated by the term ‘APAC’ is a vast one; its political histories are complex and reflect myriad influences. All this variety is to be found in the countries’ legal regimes, key concepts and terminology, and the extent to which adherence is or isn’t regarded as critical to business. APAC includes jurisdictions with hugely sophisticated manufacturing economies – and some which remain mostly agrarian. In some, expectations of compliance are high, in others, compliance is at a nascent stage and regulation still evolving. All are covered in this publication, written by leading legal professionals ‘on the ground’, which aims to shed light on where all countries of the APAC region currently stand in relation to: Export Controls, Sanctions, Anti-Corruption, AML and Cybersecurity.

Each country chapter describes the contours of the compliance terrain and includes: contact details for regulatory agencies, descriptions of the over-arching legislation, critical terms and definitions and enforcement information. With an overview of major export control differences and developments across the region, and written by consultant editor and global trade control expert Jay Nash, the book is designed to help readers address early-stage compliance questions quickly and easily – essential for facilitating APAC operations. Useful information on competent authorities, procedures, and penalties for breach is included in most country chapters along with contact details for licensing authorities.
