COVID-19 PIER: Product Import / Export Review

By , , and 1 Min Read

Baker McKenzie has launched the new COVID-19 Product Import/Export Review (“COVID-19 PIER“), a multijurisdictional tracker that will help companies stay on top of export restrictions and import measures related to products in actual or feared short supply during the pandemic.  As companies seek to protect their personnel and re-open operations safely, they may find it challenging to navigate a complex and rapidly changing global patchwork of export and import measures relating to personal protective equipment, other medical items, and sometimes other products such as food. With a few simple clicks, COVID-19 PIER allows companies to view jurisdiction-specific measures and provides contact details of our local international trade experts. For information on additional COVID-19 measures governments are enacting, please see our COVID-19 Government Interventions Schemes Guide.
