This seminar series provides both novice and experienced export compliance professionals with a comprehensive education on complying with regulations administered by the US departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury, and what the recent ECR changes and potential coming changes from a new administration mean for their compliance programs.
Export Control Reform (ECR) changes have relaxed the controls on most defense-related items and technology, but made understanding and complying with the regulations even more complicated. The shift of most military and space items from the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) to the EAR (Export Administration Regulations) forces exporters to learn the highly complicated ins and outs of the EAR. The good news is that the complex rules impose significantly less compliance burdens and fewer compliance-based export delays. So if you learn these rules, you will be able to export sooner and reduce the costs of compliance, giving you a competitive advantage.

- ITAR Defense Trade Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - September 18-19, 2017
- EAR & OFAC Commercial & Military Export Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - September 20-21, 2017
''Great!
I will definitely recommend this course throughout Lockheed Martin -
especially liked the whole ''ITAR perspective'' in addressing commerce
issues and jurisdiction issues in product classification.''
