Satisfying US export control regulations
Let’s be honest, there are a lot of bad actors in the world --- countries, companies, and individuals. So, the US Government has created a series export controls that prohibit or limit export sales to them. If exporting is limited, you may need a special license or permit. There are three classes of export controls: International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) administered by the State Department, which control the exporting of military weapons and technology; Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which are overseen by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), and control “dual-use" products, with both civilian and military applications; and finally, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the Treasury Department which oversees US boycotts, sanctions and embargos.
