Join us for an exciting program with the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)

 

Complying with U.S. Export Controls

This two-day program is led by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) professional counseling staff and provides an in-depth examination of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

The program will cover the information exporters need to know to comply with U.S. export control requirements under these regulations. We will focus on what items and activities are subject to the EAR; steps to take to determine the export licensing requirements for your item; how to determine your export control classification number (ECCN); when you can export or reexport without applying for a license; Automated Export System (AES) procedures and requirements; sanctions programs; Export Compliance Program (ECP) concepts; and real-life examples in applying this information. Presenters will conduct a number of "hands-on" exercises that will prepare you to apply the regulations to your own company's export activities. This one-of-a-kind program is well suited for those who need a comprehensive understanding of their obligations under the EAR.

The instructors are experienced export policy professionals, engineers, and enforcement personnel from BIS’ Washington, D.C. headquarters and field offices, as well as representatives from other U.S. government agencies as appropriate. The instructors will be available throughout the seminar to answer your questions on how the regulations affect the export activities of your organization.
