With Edwards’ global business, comes the responsibility of complying with the export and import regulations of the countries in which we do our business.

To support this, Edwards has implemented a ‘best practice’ trade compliance program which includes:

• Developing a team of experienced, highly trained employees for product classification
  
  
• Establishing training programs tailored to the employees’ business environment
  
  
• Enforcing a rigorous export determination program to monitor restricted parties and product licensing requirements
  
  
• Creating a pro-active import program to meet all regulatory requirements
  
  

The trade compliance team has a policy of continuous improvement through open and continuous communication to employees on regulation updates and product related compliance information through the intranet and training programs.
