Essentials of Export Controls

This is an intensive, one-day program that covers the key information you need to know to comply with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Counseling and other professionals from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) will cover the major elements of the U.S. export control system for commercial exports. This fast-paced program is ideal for those with busy schedules. This program is for all levels of expertise on export control issues and will answer questions such as: why BIS controls exports; types of controls; how to determine the classification of your product; whether a license is required or a license exception may be used; the licensing process and what to expect; when do reexport requirements apply; when is support documentation necessary; what are the export clearance and the SED requirements; how to ensure compliance; and how export controls are enforced.

Technology Controls

This full-day program will offer a comprehensive look at how to comply with the U.S. export and reexport controls relating to technology, software and encryption. The morning portion will focus on the regulatory requirements relating to technology and software, including what is considered an export or reexport of technology or software; what technology and software is subject to the Export Administration Regulations; how to determine the Export Control Classification Number; what license exceptions are available for technology and software; and the unique application requirements of technology and software. BIS technical and policy specialists will also discuss important export control issues that may arise in the employment of foreign nationals and foreign products incorporating controlled U.S.-origin software and technology. The afternoon will focus on the latest developments in encryption controls and the unique provisions related to encryption under the EAR. BIS Encryption specialists will cover a variety of topics, including how the new provision for >64-bit "mass market" encryption may apply to products that you use, sell or buy; license exception provisions for encryption source code (open source and proprietary); short-range wireless products and technologies; provisions for U.S. subsidiaries and for U.S.-origin encryption parts and components incorporated into foreign products; revisions to encryption notification and reporting requirement; and other encryption technology issues.
