US Export Controls: Awareness Training of US Export Controls and Its Extraterritorial Reach (for Australia)

Why Should You Attend:

US export regulations are not intuitive nor clear in some cases, hence many corporations in the US and abroad engage in a variety of inadvertent export violations. Even when correct export control classification is used for finished articles, most departments such as engineering, program management, sales, production management, supply chain teams and even human resource all too often take part in export violations.

This webinar will provide an understanding of the full reach and jurisdiction of Dual-Use and Munitions articles and data and will allow your corporation to better deploy the corresponding process controls, assure government authorizations are current and avoid regulatory infractions that delay shipments, provoke problems for your business partners and can induce the loss of access to US Export Controlled Articles and Data.
