Join us on Wednesday April 20 for the Export Control Working Group Monthly Meeting!


We encourage both new and experienced members who want to learn more about the Export Control Working Group to attend.


Founded in 2006, the Export Control Working Group (ECWG) was created to facilitate high-tech trade between the US and China. Comprised of more than 20 US companies, it helps US companies remain competitive by improving the export control environment. Monthly meetings and trainings include topical discussions about how best to navigate the changes in US and Chinese import and export regulations.


The ECWG is a value-added service offered by the Chamber, and both AmCham China and AmCham Shanghai member companies are eligible to join.


John Larkin, President of Larkin Trade International (LTI) and AmCham China Export Control Working Group Advisor will share the latest news and lead the discussion. Participants are encouraged to share on-the-ground updates and contribute to the discussion.


This is a hybrid event: members who cannot participate in person can also choose to attend online. A Microsoft Teams link will be provided via email once registration is completed.
