Trade Issues

Schering-Plough does business around the globe. It is subject to and complies with trade regulations of each country in which it does business, and because Schering-Plough is a U.S.-based company, certain U.S. trade laws apply to our operations, wherever you are located.

This means:

  • We comply with all trade restrictions imposed by the United Nations, the European Union, Switzerland, the United States, and a number of other jurisdictions that prohibit or restrict export and trade dealings with certain countries, entities and individuals. These include bans on:
    • Exports to a sanctioned country;
    • Imports from, or dealings in property originating in, a sanctioned country;
    • Travel to or from a sanctioned country;
    • New investments in a sanctioned country; and
    • Financial transactions and dealings involving a sanctioned country or designated individuals and entities.
  • We comply with the export licensing requirements of each jurisdiction in which Schering-Plough conducts business. Exports requiring licenses can include, in addition to products and technology, information contained in e-mails, exchanged in face-to-face discussions, or gained in visits to a company facility.
  • All Schering-Plough operations, wherever located, must comply with U.S. anti-boycott restrictions that prohibit cooperating with certain countries’ restrictive trade practices.
  • We comply with all applicable customs laws, supplying customs authorities in each country where Schering-Plough conducts business with accurate and truthful information about the products that we are importing or exporting.
