The two-day program is led by BIS's 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 on commercial goods. 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 program is well suited for those who need a comprehensive understanding of their obligations under the EAR. Technical, policy, and enforcement professionals from BIS, as well as specialists from other agencies such as the Office of Foreign Assets Control and Bureau of Census will participate in certain programs.

  1. What items and activities are subject to the EAR

  3. How to determine your export control classification number (ECCN)
  4. When you can export or re-export without applying for a license
  5. Export clearance procedures and record keeping requirements
