Developing and Implementing an Export Management Control Program

Why Should You Attend:

All countries regulate the movement of goods across their borders. In most countries, this activity, for both import and exports, is governed by a Customs Agency or Customs Service. In the United States, the responsibility is not so aligned and there are multiple agencies involved.

This session will focus on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry & Security’s oversight of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and how you can develop and implement a management and control program around these requirements for your company.
