When it comes to sanctions, the EU and US are no longer walking in step.

🇪🇺 The EU is doubling down on enforcement — tightening sanctions even further.
🇺🇸 The US, meanwhile, is starting to ease some measures, even against Russia.

For multinationals, that creates a legal dilemma: what’s allowed in one jurisdiction may be a breach in another. Copy-pasting compliance policies therefore no longer works.

👉 It takes region-specific strategies to protect your business on both sides of the Atlantic. Wondering what this means for your operations?

We're happy to explore how we can support your team with a practical, dual-track compliance framework tailored to both EU and US realities.

What if we told you there’s a smart trick to cut US import duties — saving you millions despite today’s ? 🇺🇸

Wet get it. Trump’s new tariffs are sparking concern for exporting to the US. At Alongsight, we’re not panicking though. We’re just recalculating – strategically.

👉 US import duties are based on the customs value of your goods.
Here’s the opportunity: that value isn’t set in stone.

With the right approach, you can legally leave out certain costs — like post-shipment charges or indirect fees — and reduce the value that duties are calculated on.

📉 That means: lower customs value = lower tariffs = more profit for you.

Curious to learn more about how much you can save without touching your supply chain and while staying 100 % compliant?

👉 Comment “USA” and we’ll send you the details via DM.

BELSPO compliance is essential for securing wage tax exemptions and maximizing benefits under the Innovation Income Deduction (IID). Yet, too many companies don’t realize the importance of getting it right. Here’s what we see too often:

❌ Incorrect or incomplete filings
❌ Companies failing to take action until it’s too late

Have you enjoyed watching La Casa de Papel, Squid Game or Knokke Off on Netflix? 🙋‍♂️ (we have!)

Spoiler alert: it’s all because decided to turn new compliance regulations, requiring streaming platforms to increase local content, into a competitive advantage.

Instead of just ticking the compliance box, Netflix embraced the opportunity to expand its offer with more authentic content tailored to cultural preferences, building stronger relationships with local audiences and even unlocking new markets. The result? A stronger market position and a more engaged global audience. 🚀

Yet too often, compliance is sold through fear—avoid fines, stay out of trouble, don’t get caught. And while those concerns are valid, they don’t exactly inspire.

So, we argue for a mindset shift. It’s time to see compliance for what it really is: a powerful tool to fuel growth and outpace the competition. Agree? 🤔

Trump’s first order of business? A trade war. Here’s why we think targeting Europe and other trade partners with sweeping tariffs on imported goods is his dumbest move yet. 👇

And there have been a few…

🤔 Trump’s tariffs only spark retaliation & economic blowback. Think other countries will just take the hit? They’ll fire back with their own tariffs, hurting U.S. businesses and consumers.

🤑 A currency shift will hurt US exports. Tariffs push the dollar up, making American goods pricier abroad while foreign companies gain a competitive edge at home.

👋 Goodbye, free trade. If the U.S. raises tariffs, others will follow—driving up prices, disrupting supply chains, and isolating economies instead of connecting them.

The takeaway here? Trade wars fail in practice, but they make for great political theater...

In 2026, businesses will face a double compliance challenge as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will come into effect and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will enter its definitive regime, both at the same time.

These regulatory shifts demand adjustments in operations and reporting processes, pushing companies toward a more sustainable supply chain. And because of their overlapping timelines, a coordinated approach is essential for a successful implementation.

Are you prepared to tackle both at once? ⏳ Don’t let 2026 catch you off guard. Let’s map out a plan to align your efforts, streamline compliance and stay ahead of evolving regulations. 🚀 https://www.alongsight.com/
