Technologization of Legal Solutions in the field of International Trade Compliance

Abstract

Modern technologies, and above all — information technologies, do play a significant role in navigating the complex regulatory and organizational landscape of compliance with international trade rules and management in the international trade system. The technologization of international trade compliance programs, internal compliance programs, the processes of systematization and automation of work with databases should be developed and implemented in all organizations engaged in international trade as an integral part of doing business and systematization of international trade operations. Taking into account the nature of international trade operations and their even minimal connection with specific States, in addition to clearly developing programs for compliance with international standards of trade and customs operations, the author substantiates a differentiated approach to international trade compliance, involving consideration of regulatory requirements of individual States and separate monitoring of compliance with the requirements of the State with which the relationship is associated. The author also dwells on a differentiated substantive approach to compliance procedures in trade using various software tools for monitoring and ensuring compliance in the absence, in most cases, of detailed international legal regulation (based on international treaties) of export-import operations.
