Do you know what determines if a license is required for an export?

A license from the Department of Commerce or Office of Foreign Assets Controls may be needed for an export. Although only a relatively small percentage of total U.S. exports and reexports require a license, it is critical that companies understand the regulations to avoid making illegal exports, which can result in fines, imprisonment and loss of exporting privileges.

License requirements dependent upon such things as your item's technical characteristics, the destination, the end-user, and the end-use. You need to consider:

• What are you exporting? (Are your products classified?)
• Where are you exporting it to? (What are the embargoed countries? Checking the Country Lists)
• Who will receive your item? (Are they on any of the Gov’t denial lists?)
• What will your item be used for? (Is the end-user involved in proliferation activities?)

If it is determined a license may be available, have you checked if a license exception may be available to you?
