BIS Compliance Seminar
The Bureau of Industry & Security and WTA are h osting a 2-day seminar on “Complying with U.S. Export Controls”, October 23-24. 

Led by BIS's professional counseling staff this seminar 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. We will focus on what items and activities are subject to the EAR; steps to take to determine the export licensing requirements for your item; how to determine your export control classification number (ECCN); when you can export or re-export without applying for a license; export clearance procedures and record keeping requirements.

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.
