Sino-U.S. Export Control Seminar

The Ministry of Commerce of China and the United States Department of Commerce are co-hosting the "Sino-U.S. Export Control Seminar" on Sept. 17-18, 2003, in Shanghai. It has been three years since the last U.S. export controls seminar was held in China.

The purpose of the seminar is to educate the business community about U.S. and Chinese export controls, regulations and enforcement. Four U.S. officials from the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing will explain the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), in particular as they relate to reexport controls. Agenda topics include the scope of the EAR, the Commerce Control List, foreign policy controls, nonproliferation controls, compliance and enforcement. Chinese speakers from the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Development and Reform Commission’s National Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Office, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the General Administration of Customs of China will make presentations on non-proliferation and export control topics.

This seminar will be beneficial for companies that use U.S.-origin parts and components for manufacturing and assembly, companies that use U.S.-origin systems, software, or technology to develop foreign-made products, and companies that reexport those products, software and U.S.-origin items. Companies that are not aware of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations can also use this opportunity to better understand U.S. export controls.
