Trading internationally can be difficult. Companies must navigate a complex web of national import and export controls, VAT, customs and excise duties, rules of international organizations like the WTO and EU, and the terms of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. These rules and how they interact with one another are changing rapidly in what has become an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape.
