By Kara Klein, Associate Director of Marketing and Media Relations, Security Industry Association on December 14, 2020 |

JUST UPDATED: New International Investment Information as of December 2021!

What’s New for 2021:

  • Two countries added: India and Vietnam
After surveying companies already invested internationally or interested in expanding into global markets, the Security Industry Association (SIA) has released a member-exclusive tool kit to help companies understand the international landscape in these six key countries/regions:
  • India
  • Israel
  • Mexico
  • United Arab Emirates
  • United Kingdom
  • Vietnam
This guide pairs well with the SIA Export Assistance Guide, which provides a summary of U.S. programs designed to aid businesses seeking to grow their export business, along with a list of relevant trade associations in many nations around the world.

Why This Guide Matters

Navigating international requirements for export and operation expansion can be time consuming and complex. By providing a potential path forward into the six countries of interest, SIA’s international guide will serve as a starting point for your company’s decision-making process. SIA’s international investment guide covers four areas of interest:
  • Tax administration
  • Known or unknown barriers to entry
  • Regulatory structure and licensing requirements
  • Security trade associations
