Redirect[edit]

Shouldn't this just be placed at import if it is to redirect here? [[User:KH JAKIB002 ? ][|KH JAKIB002]] 11:32, 12 September 2004 (UTC)

Also - importers should be made aware of the risks of importing. Importers (and exporters) have to take into account is staying in compliance with international laws, as well as domestic ones. Many countries and international organizations maintain compliance lists, or watch lists, which lists individuals, business or organizations that importers and exporters are not allowed to do business with. In the United States one of these lists is the OFACs list. Importers and exporters that do business with listed entities or individuals can lose their license or even go to jail. Sometimes importers and exporters do not know they're not in compliance. Many of the lists are hard to access and even more difficult to check on a regular basis. The US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control recommends using software that checks several of these lists daily, and alerts imports/exporters if any of their foreign contacts are listed. One of these services is WatchlistCompliace.com. There are others as well, and one can always manually check the lists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Watchlistcompliance (talk • contribs) 17:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Functions and Models[edit]

From one economist to the rest, please remember that economic variables are only modeled by equations. The actual economic activity is more important than whose model we chose to endorse. Bagsc (talk) 11:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
