Standards, Policies and Laws

International Business

Tech Data conducts business in many different countries and is committed to following the laws and regulations in effect wherever it does business. All transactions must be conducted in accordance with the applicable import, export and money-laundering control regulations of the United States, and all other jurisdictions in which the company operates. Tech Data's policies on export/import and money-laundering control contain specific guidance for obtaining proper authorization, establishing credibility of trading parties, and proper documentation and record retention. 

The United States, through the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and many other countries prohibit the payments or offering of anything of value to government officials for the purpose of securing or maintaining a business advantage. Each employee must be alert to the potential for an improper payment, including inappropriate gifts. The FCPA also requires the company to maintain adequate financial records and internal controls to identify such payments. 

Tech Data will not participate in any boycott not sanctioned by the United States or the United Nations, nor provide information that could be construed to further unsanctioned boycotts.
