OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS
Competition Practices
At DuPont, we compete every day to meet customer needs and enhance shareholder value. However, we always follow competition laws, which apply in most countries where we do business. These laws prohibit actions that restrain trade or reduce competition. Violating these laws can result in severe penalties for DuPont and anyone involved.
What to Avoid
Be familiar with DuPont’s Policy on Trade with Sensitive Destinations which applies to all DuPont businesses, including controlled subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates worldwide and governs all proposed import and export transactions.
Export Controls:
Follow rules for transferring products, services, and technology between countries. This includes sharing technical data online, through conversations, or across databases. Consult Legal early if you have questions or concerns that a government export license may be required.
Re-exporting:
Be aware that U.S. export laws also apply to re-exporting products or technology to a third country.
Customs and Imports:
Accurately classify and report the value, origin, and details of all imported products. Ensure proper documentation to comply with local laws.
Antiboycott:
Avoid participating in unsanctioned boycotts, including the Arab League boycott of Israel. Immediately report any requests related to boycotts to Legal.
Trade with Sensitive Destinations:
Be familiar with DuPont’s Policy on Trade with Sensitive Destinations which applies to all DuPont businesses, including controlled subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates worldwide and governs all proposed import and export transactions.
Competitive Information
We value competitive information, but only when it’s collected legally and ethically. Everyone at DuPont must follow these rules:
- Never steal or misrepresent yourself to gather data.
- Avoid using agents or third parties to obtain information inappropriately.
- Consult Legal if you’re unsure about gathering competitive information responsibly.
By following these guidelines, we protect DuPont’s reputation and comply with competition laws worldwide.
