Making the Most of License Exception STA

Making the Most of License Exception STA

Each participant will receive the ECTI License Exception STA Compliance Checklist, an invaluable tool to help your organization comply with every export.

Export control reform is here, and hopefully you are already experiencing some relief. But you may have also discovered a catch. The changes relax certain export controls, but they do not simplify them. The rules are now even more complex. Both the U.S. Munitions List and the Commerce Control List are longer than ever. Many of the items which were once controlled on the USML have moved into the new CCL 600 Series ECCNs (for example, 9A610). And most exports of items classified in 600 Series ECCNs are ineligible for No License Required.

What does that mean? It means that it many cases, your only option short of applying for a Commerce Department export license will be License Exception STA. The good news about License Exception STA is that it may permit you to make exports (600 Series and otherwise) which have never before been possible without a license. The bad news is that understanding, using and complying with STA can be a challenge.

Join us as we address these key License Exception STA questions and issues:

• Which commodities, software and technology may be exported?

• Which countries are eligible destinations under the exception? (including the new EAR country groups)

• Does my customer's end-use qualify for STA?

• How are 600 Series items treated differently from other STA-eligible items?

• Understanding the three-part STA paper trail

• Setting up procedures to use and administer STA and how to keep records

• When you may want to apply for a license instead of using STA

Our Making the Most of License Exception STA Webinar will provide PowerPoint slides and include live video and commentary from Scott Gearity who brings over a decade of consulting, training and corporate export compliance program management experience to bear for his clients. Webinar participants are invited to submit questions during the webinar; the final 30 minutes of the webinar will be allotted to answering attendees' questions.
