  • Risk image thus depends on the specific business, in particular which products / services sold and in which geographic markets.
  • For Danish export companies and their supplier’s awareness of the rules – including the US – and ensuring compliance is of great importance. Lack of this can result in loss of orders, substantial fines, reputational damage and in the worst case, imprisonment and exclusion.
