(upbeat music) (air whooshing) Let's discuss the basics of exporting. You will learn how to legally export products. What can and cannot be exported. And how to protect yourself from potentially problematic or dangerous situations. The term exporting can cover a wide range of activities. To put it simply, exporting is the transferring of controlled products, information, technology, or software to a foreign person. This can take place within the U.S. or outside the country. (air whooshing) A foreign person is any foreign government, any organization that is not incorporated under U.S. law and any individual who is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Exporting can occur when a shipment is sent outside the U.S., a visual inspection is made inside or outside of the U.S., or information is disclosed either written or orally. Under this definition a simple action like giving a tour of your facility to a foreign business may be considered exporting if there is controlled technology in use there. Or a university professor sharing new research with a visiting professor from another country may also be considered exporting, if the research is not going to be made accessible for everyone. There's more than one term we need to discuss that is re-export. Re-export occurs when an item subject to U.S. export control laws is moved from one foreign country to another. It also occurs when technology controlled by the same laws is released in a foreign country to another foreign person from another country. (air whooshing) The U.S. federal government has three main export control regulations. The export administration regulations, EAR. The international traffic in arms regulations, ITAR And the office of foreign assets control. (air whooshing) These are designed to regulate the export of products, services and technologies that are deemed strategically important. This can be for several reasons including to protect national security, or to support the goals of U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. federal government can place sanctions on foreign countries and individuals. Organizations need to be in compliance with these sanctions. On the other hand, U.S. organizations and individuals are not allowed to participate in the boycotts or embargoes imposed by other nations and are unsanctioned by the U.S. This means organizations are prohibited from refusing to do business with another organization in a country that is boycotted, discriminating against another person because of their race, religion, sex, national origin, or nationality and providing information about business relationships with organizations in a country that is boycotted.
