Export Control

Export control laws are a set of federal regulations designed to protect U.S. national security, prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, further U.S. foreign policy including the support of international agreements, human rights and regional stability, and to maintain U.S. economic competitiveness.

Export controls govern how information, technologies, and commodities can be transmitted overseas to anyone, including U.S. citizens, or to foreign nationals in the U.S. These regulations are the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
