The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 C.F.R. §§ 120-130, governs the export and re-export of defense, defense services, and related technical data from the United States to any foreign destination or person, whether in the United States or abroad. Cornell University is fully committed to complying with all U.S. government export control laws and regulations. If you have questions about the application of export controls at a particular stage of a particular research project, contact the Sponsored Programs Service (export-control@uiowa.edu). In principle, any research activity may be subject to export controls if it involves the actual or “presumed” export of goods, technology or related technical data that are either (1) “dual-use” (of a commercial nature with possible military application) or (2) of a military nature in nature. Researchers at Michigan Technological University are involved in research in the United States and abroad. These activities include the sharing and development of products, goods, hardware, software or hardware, as well as research related to technologies that may be subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. It is the policy of the University to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

This statement summarizes key provisions of export control laws and regulations and explains how the university will help researchers comply with these complex requirements. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are implemented by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) within the Department of Commerce. The AEOI regulates the export of dual-use goods and services (military and civilian goods and services) on the Trade Control List (CDC). These are items that are not inherently military in nature; These are mainly commercial items with potential military applications. This is not an exhaustive list of all U.S. export control regulations; There are other laws and regulations, but usually academic activities do not involve data, goods or services under their jurisdiction. The Bureau of Export Controls provides advisory expertise on EAR, ITAR and trade sanctions regulations and assists researchers in contacting the relevant Cognizant agency for further regulations. • The U.S. Department of State`s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) administers the International Traffic and Arms Regulations (ITAR), which govern the export of defense equipment, defense services, and technical data controlled by ITAR.

If a researcher has a project or technology that is controlled for export and requires an export permit, they must restrict their activities until a review to determine if an exception or exclusion applies, or if a permit is required. Note that “accepted exports” may also require a permit. For purposes of U.S. export control laws, the term “export” includes a wide range of activities that include the export of goods, services or information. Generally, an export occurs when a transfer is made to a non-U.S. state. No person, inside or outside the United States, of goods, technology or software controlled by physical, electronic, oral, or visual means, knowing or with intent that the items will be shipped, transferred, or transferred outside the United States. Export laws, KU is an “exporter” and there are four basic ways KU can export: “Export” is defined not only as a physical transfer/disclosure of an item outside the United States, but also as a transfer/disclosure in any form of controlled item or information in the United States to any foreign person (not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident). This is called the “deemed export” rule. As a result, the university may be required to obtain prior regulatory approval (in the form of an export permit) before allowing international faculty, staff or students to participate in the research in question. In some cases, depending on the country, a license may not be available at all.

So far, the most direct way to impose export restrictions has been for the federal funding agency to classify the project. Following the events of 11 September, compliance with export regulations was further examined. As a publicly funded university, Michigan Tech is committed to disseminating scientific efforts and research results as widely as possible through basic research, as described in SDDS 189; However, faculty, staff, and administrators are individually and collectively responsible for compliance with export control laws and regulations, even without the express imposition of ITAR or AEOI requirements as a condition of acceptance of a scholarship. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Department of Commerce regulates the export of commercial goods and technologies under the AEOI. Articles, information and software that are not subject to ITAR control and are not excluded are covered by the AER. Unlike ITAR, however, the AER does not control any service. • Re-export permits (submit letterhead as “General Correspondence”). This is an organizational chart that we have developed to help you identify two basic outcomes in an export control issue: 1) when a license is unlikely to be required and 2) where a license may be required, depending on the circumstances (at this point, you should get help as outlined in the flowchart). In general, all items of U.S.

origin or physically located in the United States are subject to the EAR. The AER contains restrictions on re-exports of goods and technology from the United States, as well as direct exports from the United States. Foreign manufactured goods are generally exempt from the re-export requirements of the EAR if they contain less than a de minimis portion of the U.S. value content.
