Export Control
Introduction to Export Controls (14:43)
The export control regulations govern laboratory instruments, equipment, materials, software, technology, and technical data that can be transferred out of the country by any means (e.g. cargo shipment, hand-carried laptop content, courier, e-mail, and spoken communication), as well as that, can be accessed by foreign nationals present at our laboratories for whom certain export restrictions apply. In certain cases, these situations require prior authorization (an export license) from one of the applicable governing agencies. These agencies include the Departments of Commerce, State, Treasury, Defense, Energy, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
