GLOBAL EXPORT CONTROLS COMPLIANCE

2011 was a banner year for U.S. export controls – The Obama administration sought to streamline and reform the entire U.S. export control system, issued a new “Consolidated Screening List”, BIS amended their licensing requirements on encryption controls, a new STA license exception was created, and the ITAR dual and third- country nationals rules were updated. In addition, navigating through the maelstrom of proposed rules, most notably the consolidation of the USML and CCL, is proving a daunting task for trade compliance professionals around the world.
