International Trade

Why?

Our products, services and data are used around the world. To continue as a global business, we must comply with international export, import, taxation and sanction laws.

Our Commitments

  • We aim to comply with all trade laws that apply to our business around the world, including export controls, import and customs laws, international tax laws and trade sanctions.
  • We recognize that these laws can apply equally to information (including software, codes and technical information) and to physical and financial assets, and we seek to develop our controls, policy and internal training accordingly.
  • We know this is an area of law that is constantly changing and endeavor to keep our controls and systems up to date.

Your Role

  • Familiarize yourself with the trade laws that impact your work at Autoliv. If you have any questions, discuss them with your manager or a member of the Legal or Compliance Team.
  • Recognize that trade laws can be technical and detailed. Do not hesitate to pause and seek expert guidance if required.
  • Be aware that trade laws regulating what may be transferred across borders can cover information and digital assets as well as physical products. This may include emails and telephone or video calls, so if in doubt, contact a member of the Legal or Compliance team for guidance.
  • Know where and who we are doing business with and ensure in advance that we can legitimately trade with them without breaching any trade laws, in particular export controls and trade sanctions obligations.

Always Remember

International trade laws change regularly. Ensure you stay up to date with the latest requirements for your business activities. If in doubt, pause and seek expert guidance.
