In The NewsLarry Herman's New Book Uncovers the Rules and Sanctions of International TradePublished: 03/16/2010 Cassels Brock Partner and International Trade lawyer, Larry Herman, has authored Export Controls & Economic Sanctions: A Guide to Canadian Trade Restrictions.
The first of its kind in Canada, this publication contains a comprehensive review of Canada’s system of trade restrictions, with emphasis on Canadian export controls. It also covers UN-mandated sanctions and a range of other measures that may be less well-known but which have a critical impact on Canada’s external trade and on the conduct of business in the international marketplace.
The book identifies Canada’s obligations under international treaties and agreements that form the basis for the existing statutory and regulatory system, including controls over nuclear materials, weapons, sensitive strategic goods and technology, environmentally harmful substances, and cultural and heritage properties. Also covered is the critical system of enforcement of UN-mandated economic sanctions and anti-terrorism measures approved by the Security Council.
 Included in the publication is an outline of Canada’s import control system for agricultural products under its system of supply management, plus other trade related statutes that affect international sales and business transactions. The latter includes an explanation of Canada’s Controlled Goods Program, highly relevant to companies engaged in joint projects with US corporations.
