| Samenvatting | International trade in goods or services may be affected by a range of regulatory provisions. In some cases, the physical movement of goods or the provision of services may be subject to licensing requirements. The relevant license should then be applied for and obtained from the relevant competent licensing authority prior to executing the transaction. In other cases, imports or exports of specific sorts of goods or services may be prohibited, although prohibitions are (often) origin or destination specific, or may depend on the identity of the (ultimate) recipient or end user of the goods or services. Sometimes not only actual exports are caught by restrictions, but also related activities, such as brokering, providing technical assistance or facilitating or processing payments. Such activities may be prohibited or again may be subject to licensing requirements. Certain imports, furthermore, may be made subject to additional import duties, which may serve as a financial discouragement to such trade. |
