Developing an Export Compliance Program

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) encourages companies exporting products and technology to establish an Export Management and Compliance Program (EMCP). Developing an effective EMCP is an invaluable way a company can protect the vital interests of the company. Establishing an EMCP is not a guarantee that an export violation will not occur, but it minimizes the risk of noncompliance and is a map to consistent export compliance.

The webinar will be held from 12:00pm-1:00pm eastern standard time. You will receive a link via email on September 18, 2013 that will have access instructions for the webinar.  

We will focus on the elements of an effective export compliance program and best practices.  Topics to be covered are the 19 elements that should be in a program, including:

- Management responsibilities
- Human Resource responsibilities and hiring practices
- Screening transactions (e.g. embargo screening, restricted parties and end-use)
- Classification
- License Determination
- License submission and maintenance responsibilities
- Securing technology and technical data
- Shipping requirements and responsibilities
- Employee training and knowledge
