As TCEPro 2026 moves into Module 12, the focus shifts to one of the most complex and rapidly evolving risk areas in global automotive trade: export controls, sanctions, and technology-driven compliance enforcement. This module examines how geopolitical fragmentation, industrial policy, and advanced technologies are reshaping regulatory exposure across automotive supply chains.
This module provides a strategic and execution-focused view of how export controls and sanctions regimes intersect with automotive manufacturing, software, semiconductors, and critical minerals. Participants will explore how organizations can design governance models, compliance systems, and data-driven controls to manage cross-border risk and remain audit-ready in a highly polarized global environment.
Participants will explore:
- Automotive sanctions exposure in a polarized world: governance across U.S., EU, and allied regimes
- Russia–Ukraine war impacts on automotive supply chains: indirect sanctions and third-country risk
- Dual-use electronics in vehicles: export-control risk for ECUs, ADAS, and power systems
- BIS semiconductor controls and automotive chips: licensing, distributors, and delivery blocks
- Embedded AI and software in vehicles: export controls on automotive intelligence
- China’s critical-minerals export controls: exposure in batteries, motors, and power electronics
- CHIPS Act and industrial policy constraints: localization and technology transfer risk
- Outbound investment and joint-venture controls in automotive manufacturing and R&D
- Import–export collision risk: when export controls intersect with Section 232 and supply disruption
- Technology-enabled global automotive compliance: AI screening, diversion detection, and audit-ready evidence
