Complying with U.S. Export Controls
April 1-2, 2025
Norris Conference Centers City Centre
Houston, TX
Complying with U.S. Export Controls
The two-day program is led by BIS’s professional counseling staff and 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, and other items subject to the EAR. We will focus on what items and activities are subject to the EAR, how to determine your export control classification number (ECCN), steps to take to determine the export licensing requirements for your item, when you can export or reexport without applying for a license, export clearance procedures and record keeping requirements, and guidance in applying this information. Presenters will conduct a number of “hands-on” exercises that will prepare you to apply the regulations to your own company’s activities. This program is well suited for those who need a comprehensive understanding of their obligations under the EAR.

The instructors are experienced export policy professionals, engineers, and enforcement personnel from BIS’s Washington, D.C. headquarters and field offices, as well as representatives from other U.S. government agencies as appropriate.
