In This Session … • Gain knowledge of common export classifications. • Learn the elements of a basic compliance program • Understand where functions are within Quantum to support your program • See how customizations can refine Quantum to better support your internal needs
What are the elements of an export? • Export Control Classification • Universal Harmonized Code (UHC) • End User Information • Country of Destination • Country of Manufacturer
Export Control Classification is a category code assigned to a commodity to determine if an export license is required to ship the goods. You are responsible for determining this classification As the exporter of record!
The Harmonized Code – UHC – is used to determine duties, taxes and other tariffs in international trade when passing through customs. It does NOT determine licensing requirements! Establish in 1988 by the World Customs Organization, more than 200 countries recognize these codes. As of 2010, 98 percent of international trade used the Harmonized system
BUT I’VE NEVER WORRIED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL? We Are In A Global Market Laws Change. Rules Change. The Debarred Lists Change. Customers Change. So you must always be diligent.
My products and services are mass-marketed around the world. They are not subject to U.S. Export Controls. Truth:Whether or not a product is mass-marketed around the world does not determine whether it is subject to U.S. export controls (though it may play a role in determining how tight a control will be placed on such a product). U.S. embargoes, for instance, often capture things as "simple" as toys and office equipment..
My product or service does not have a military use, so it's not subject to U.S. export controls. Truth:Everything can be (and is) subject to export controls. Even e-mails, telephone calls, and release of technologies (software, data, diagrams, etc) to non-exempt foreign nationals can be subject to U.S. export controls.
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT IS GOVERNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
EAR (Export Administration Regulations) This is the governing law for categorizing your product and determining if a license requirement exists. The Department of Commerce uses Export Control Classification Numbers – or ECCNs to categorize products. These are alpha-numeric codes.
THE COST OF NON COMPLIANCE EAR (Commercial Product) Criminal: $50K to $1 million or 5 times value of export, whichever is greater, per violation, 10 years imprisonment Civil: revocation of exporting privilege, fines $10K to $120K per violation Bass-Pro - $510K for shipping guns without a license Dr. Thomas Butler, Texas Tech – 2 years in prison for making fraudulent claims & unauthorized exports (biological agent)

EAR 99 (Items subject to the EAR that are not elsewhere specified) EAR 99 – This most commonly relates to non aviation specific items consumables.
ITAR (INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC in ARMS REGULATIONS) This is the governing law for categorizing your product and determining if a license requirement exists For Military Product. The Department of State uses ITAR Codes to Classify product. These are roman numerals.

A product cannot be controlled by both DOS and DOC. Only one government entity will control the license determinations of a product. If you ever need to know who controls a product, you can submit a Commodity Jurisdiction request, or “CJ”.
THE EXPORTER OF RECORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING A LICENSE. THAT INCLUDES DETERMINING WHAT THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE PRODUCT IS. IF YOU SHIP U.S. MADE GOODS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, OR YOU SHIP PRODUCT OUT OF THE UNITED STATES YOU ARE THE EXPORTER OF RECORD.
Many changes are being implemented this fall through the President’s Export Reform Initiative. John Bushnell’s presentation from July 24th can be downloaded on the QUE Group website. That session covered the export classification changes and new exemptions and rules that impact the Aviation Industry
