ITAR BOOT CAMP

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

About

ITAR regulations dictate that information and material pertaining to defense and military-related technologies cannot be exported or shared with non-U.S. persons unless approval from the Department of State is received or a special exemption is used.

An exporter that doesn’t master defense trade controls can unknowingly violate strict provisions of the ITAR and incorrectly assume that their articles, technical data or services aren’t subject to defense trade controls! Anything but a clear understanding of the ITAR is extremely risky, as enforcement becomes even more heavy-handed and penalties continue to rise.

Developing and implementing an eff ective ITAR compliance program is daunting. U.S. exporters must always be up-to-date on the latest regulatory changes, guidelines and enforcement actions. Moreover, exporters must know how to overcome practical, real-life challenges aff ecting their compliance status, including how to determine ITAR jurisdiction, draft CJ requests, use license exemptions, expedite license approvals, and control foreign nationals access.

The American Conference Institute’s “ITAR Boot Camp” is designed as an in-depth, practical course on the nuts and bolts of ITAR compliance. Our expert faculty will walk you through the ins and outs of key requirements, exemptions and the latest updates. Th is course will allow for ample Q & A, hands-on exercises and case studies, and will provide you with valuable materials that will help you in your daily work. Topics will include:
