He is a specialist in international trade and customs for over 30 years, and is the author of 5 books on international trade and customs topics, including NAFTA and USMCA.

In the 13-minute Audio Interview, Mr. Glick discusses these questions:

• What is important to know about Sanctions against Russia, and is it only Russia that is covered? And how are these important to the US and global automotive supply industry?
• What US government agencies are involved, and how do you determine which agency has jurisdiction? Military products would seem clear enough but what about the “dual use” items you mentioned?
• What are among the most important recent sanctions, and what about making and receiving payments or loans from Russia? I hear this may be difficult. And… can one obtain licenses to export, or import products to Russia? Can I protect myself with my suppliers and customers through contractual provisions?
• Do you have some general advice to U.S. and global companies operating in the auto industry worldwide?
