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
& Treasury, and what the recent and coming changes mean for their
compliance programs.
Export Control Reform (
ECR)
changes have relaxed the controls on some defense-related items and
technology, but made complying with the regulations even more
complicated. Companies whose items were previously controlled by the
ITAR (
International Traffic in Arms Regulations) will now need to learn the ins and outs of the
EAR (
Export Administration Regulations) as some items shift from the USML to the CCL.
TWO BACK-TO-BACK SEMINARS:
- EAR & OFAC Commercial & Military Export Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - November 2-3, 2015
- ITAR Defense Trade Controls - 2-DAY SEMINAR - November 4-5, 2015
“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.”
