Export Control Classroom: Export Controls 101

Exporters are subject to a number of distinct regulatory regimes that may be applicable to shipments of commodities, and transfers of controlled data or software, depending on the type of item being sent, the recipient, the country destination, and the end use.  These regimes include the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions regulations, and others. This session will review the fundamentals of US export compliance for attorneys and business personnel that may be new to export compliance or for those seeking a refresher, and will go over ITAR and EAR jurisdiction and classification, types of export transactions, licensing, deemed exports and technology transfers, customer due diligence, and voluntary disclosures.
