Presenters conduct hands-on exercises to prepare you to apply the regulations to your own company's exports. This program is well suited for those who need a comprehensive understanding of their obligations under the EAR. Seating for this seminar is limited to 165 participants.

U.S. Technology Controls
This full-day seminar offers a comprehensive view on complying with U.S. government export and re-export controls for technology, software and encryption. The course focuses on the regulatory requirements for technology and software, including what is considered an export or re-export of technology or software; what technology and software is subject to the Export Administration Regulations; what license exceptions are available for technology exports; the latest developments in encryption controls including the provision for >64 bit “mass market” encryption, for U.S. origin encryption components incorporated into foreign products as well as encryption notification and reporting requirements. BIS technical and policy specialists examine critical export control issues that may arise in the employment of foreign nationals and for foreign items incorporating, or produced from, controlled U.S.-origin software and technology.
