  5. Export Basics • What is an export? - An export is an actual shipment or transmission out of the United States. - It’s also the transfer of technical data or article to a foreign person or foreign owned company regardless of their location. • Exports can occur in many ways: Email Mail Face-to-Face Website Visual inspection that reveals technical data Conference – AT&T conference/meeting Hand-carried items – laptops, memory devices
