Export Controls EAR / ITAR
Guidance on compliance with U.S. export controls on dual-use items (EAR) and defense articles (ITAR)
We advise on compliance with U.S. export control regulations for dual-use items (EAR) and defense articles (ITAR), covering physical goods as well as technology and software.
These controls may apply not only to exports from the United States, but also to reexports between third countries of U.S.-origin goods, technology or software, or of foreign-made items that incorporate or are produced with certain U.S.-origin content or technology (the so-called “de minimis rules” and “foreign direct product rules”).
