  25. ITAR/EAR/DFARS – WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? The contracts I deal with do not require the Contractor to export anything, so why should I be concerned? As long as the required DFARS clause is in the contract, what further is required of the Government acquisition person or the Contractor? Isn’t it the State or Commerce Dept’s. responsibility to enforce export laws/regulations?

  26. BASIC RULE EXPORT OF A DEFENSE ARTICLE, DEFENSE DATA, OR PROVISION OF A DEFENSE SERVICE TO A “FOREIGN PERSON” IS ILLEGAL UNLESS THE EXPORTER POSSESSES A VALID U.S. GOVERNMENT APPROVED EXPORT LICENSE OR THE EXPORT IS COVERED BY AN ITAR/EAR EXEMPTION OR EXCEPTION

  34. Miscellany/Cautions Taking an electronic device with resident ITAR controlled data/software out of the U. S. is an export. Non-gov. personnel - be sure you have the proper authorization/license. Placing controlled technical data on a server, network drive, or unsecured portal/FTP site that is accessible by foreign persons is considered an export whether or not a foreign person actually accesses the site.

  35. ITAR/EAR/DFARS – WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? ANSWERS Q - The contracts I deal with do not require the Contractor to export anything, so why should I be concerned? A - If your company or a Contractor with which you deal: employs “Foreign Persons”, any export controlled data/article to which they have access is deemed an “Export” and the appropriate license is needed; provides general public access to its products at trade shows, expositions, etc. and any of the products is a defense article, an export may take place; or has foreign subsidiaries, a foreign parent, or foreign offices with which it shares technical data, or provides assistance or hardware, a TAA or other license may be necessary even if the end product is destined for the U.S., then the DFARS clause could apply.

  36. ITAR/EAR/DFARS – WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? ANSWERS Q - As long as the required DFARS clause is in the contract, what further is required of the Contractor or Government acquisition person? A - To comply with the DFARS requirements and if the Contractor exports data or articles, it is prudent for each effected company to register with the State Dept. and set up an export compliance program to ensure laws/regulations are being followed. A - To monitor compliance with the DFARS requirements, it is necessary for all U.S. Government acquisition personnel to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of export laws/regulations.

  37. ITAR/EAR/DFARS – WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? ANSWERS Q - Isn’t it the State or Commerce Dept’s. responsibility to enforce export laws/regulations? A - Not really – compliance and enforcement are the duties of all those effected by such laws/regulations. If the DFARS export clause is in the contract, monitoring of compliance is both a Government and contractor duty. A - When a company is “caught” violating export laws/regulations, it may be too late to avoid fines or loss of export/contracting privileges.
