BEST PRACTICE FOR UK FIRMS IN US

EXPORT CONTROL COMPLIANCE

The Export Group for Aerospace & Defence (EGAD), the dedicated UK national industrial body dealing with export control issues, is organising a series of special workshops at venues around the UK in the week of 16th October 2006, in association with the US Society of International Affairs (SIA), on US Export Controls. These are aimed at practitioners on the practicalities of how you go about complying with the US regulations (both ITAR and EAR), and will be of interest to any UK firms who have any dealings with the USA or controlled US technology/goods, either in the defence or the dual-use sectors.

Trying to keep up to date with export control developments in the USA is becoming an increasingly vital matter for many within British Industry, not only dealing with defence matters, but also non-defence related US controls. Given the complexity of the US regulations, and the nature of the US system’s re-export/re-transfer controls, which impact on any non-US companies seeking to have access to or export anything containing controlled US goods or technology, and the extreme severity of the punishments imposed on firms who infringe US export control regulations, it is vital to know whether you are affected by the US regulations, and, if so, how you go about meeting your regulatory responsibilities under them as effectively and efficiently as possible. 

These workshops are intended to assist UK companies trying to achieve this.
