TRADE COMPLIANCE We comply with all trade laws and regulations that apply to us Both U.S. and international trade laws control where Nike can send or receive our products and services. These laws are fairly complex. But the bottom line is this: If you are in any way involved in sending or making available Nike products or services from one country to another, work with your manager to be sure the transaction stays within the bounds of applicable laws. This includes strict compliance with international trade sanctions. And when importing product, always accurately classify, value, determine country of origin and specify all facts reportable to customs authorities. We also don’t participate in or promote boycotts anywhere in the world that the United States doesn’t support. We are obligated to report requests to comply with certain boycotts to the U.S. government. If you become aware of such a request, or if you have any questions about sanctions or boycotts, contact the Ethics & Compliance Office . We fully expect our partners to demonstrate this same commitment. A footwear line I’m working on is over budget and we need to cut costs. Our factory partner told me we can save 15% if we tell the customs authority that the textile uppers are leather. Is it a problem if we change the description of the product to save on customs duties? Yes, it’s a problem. False representations to customs authorities can mean fines, seizures and the loss of import privileges. We play fair and comply with all applicable laws. WHAT IF...?
