Export/Import Regulations

Export and import regulations are rules and laws that governments establish to control the movement of goods across borders. They include licensing requirements, tariffs (taxes), and restrictions on certain products to ensure safety, security, and economic interests. These regulations help prevent illegal activities like smuggling and ensure compliance with international agreements. Businesses must follow these rules to legally send or receive goods internationally, often requiring documentation such as export licenses or customs declarations. Staying compliant ensures smooth trade operations and avoids fines or seizures.
