This Workshop is the perfect opportunity for manufacturers to understand these important regulations, how they will affect your business (both in sales and, unfortunately, penalties), and get some expert guidance on what may be required actions for you to take now or in the near future.
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are two important sets of U.S. export control laws that affect the manufacturing, sales and distribution of certain articles, technologies, technology products, software, and services. Both laws are designed to control access to specific types of technology and data that will prevent the unintended disclosure or transfer of sensitive information or goods to unauthorized foreign nationals or entities.
The rules apply to any entity in the United States that manufactures, exports or temporarily imports defense products or services.
Key Topics to be Covered Include:
- What exactly is ITAR and EAR?
- Which agency has jurisdiction over your items and technology?
- How ITAR/EAR applies to your company.
- Who needs to be registered/licensed? How and why?
- Are there recordkeeping requirements?
- What are the fines/penalties for non-conformance?
Did You Know:
- Even if you don’t export, you may have to register your company with DDTC.
- You may need a license to share technical data (blueprints, emails, etc.).
- Many items may trigger an export license requirement (titanium, lasers, machinery) that a large number of companies are unaware of.
- You may actually be “exporting” and not know it. You are responsible for vetting the end-user of your product, even if the shipment is a domestic sale.
