When you’re expanding into international markets, it’s critical to consider the laws and regulations for conducting business in other countries.

Nations have their own limitations on what you can import or trade. You should also learn about laws concerning:

👉 Employment
👉 Trade
👉 Taxes
👉 Investments

If you own a small business and are thinking about importing or exporting goods internationally, the Oregon SBDC Network can help you plan for success!
