Countries also have different domestic sensitivities and considerations with regard to trade, investment, customs procedures, export control, technical requirements, sanitary and phytosanitary standards, and intellectual property rights. The rapidly evolving regulatory and business landscape presents unique challenges to companies, especially in navigating the different domestic requirements and practices.
