Due diligence on potential partners (and suppliers, major clients, and other contacts) is important. A U.S. company should conduct due diligence on the Czech company with which it is working, and on its officers or major shareholders. The U.S. Commercial Service offers an International Company Profile service that researches the bona fides of Czech firms. Dun & Bradstreet also offers profiles and financial information on Czech firms.

Product safety testing and certification is mandatory for the EU market. U.S. manufacturers and sellers of goods must perform due diligence in accordance with mandatory EU legislation prior to exporting.
