International Trade - Export Controls
Crowell & Moring Capabilities
The US Departments of Commerce and State regulate the export of commercial and military commodities, technology, software and certain services from the United States to foreign countries. Additionally, these agencies regulate the reexport of US-origin items from one foreign country to another.
We assist exporters in navigating the complex regulatory framework that governs these matters by:
- advising on licensing requirements
- performing internal investigations and assisting with voluntary disclosures
- performing compliance audits
- designing and implementing compliance programs
- classifying a company's products on the Commerce Control List and the Munitions List
- representing clients in civil and criminal enforcement proceedings
- drafting commodity jurisdiction and commodity classification requests
- training on export control procedures and requirements
- preparing license and agreement applications
Representative Matters
We have advised a broad variety of clients, including:
- high-tech companies in the semiconductor and software industries
- manufacturers in the aerospace and defense industry
- producers and distributors of specialty chemicals
- airlines and air freight forwarders
