2026 Trade Compliance CLE: $250 Million Reasons to Pay Attention

Written by Axiom Law | Mar 10, 2026 7:30:43 PM

 Tariffs are at their highest levels since the 1930s. Sanctions programs targeting Russia, Belarus, and China continue to expand. And enforcement actions are reaching into the hundreds of millions of dollars—with instances of single penalties exceeding $250 million. Missing a regulatory shift can now carry nine-figure consequences. 

This Continuing Legal Education (CLE) covers the key export control, import, and sanctions frameworks driving record enforcement actions and news headlines. We'll discuss examples such as the Supreme Court's recent ruling on tariff authority to the landmark penalties against Applied Materials, Boeing, and RTX. The common thread? Agencies aren't just enforcing rules, they're making examples. Finally, we'll dig into the diligence strategies and compliance program updates that in-house counsel should prioritize as agencies ramp up enforcement amid a regulatory landscape that continues to shift.

This CLE is eligible for credit in all 50 states and free to register.
