Over 120 experts attended the fourth annual “Foreign Trade Law Day” at the JKU in October. Professionals in science, business, administrative jurisdiction and city administration took the opportunity to discuss current trends and issues in foreign trade ranging from B for Brexit to S for the Silk Road. In addition to general tax questions associated with storage to secure the supply chain, topics such as cross-border digitization and the expected economic effects of the Chinese Silk Road were also discussed. The workload never ends for foreign trade and customs experts at the JKU.
