US Export Control Reform changes can be a real benefit to your company's business once you understand how to adapt and maximize the benefit of list shifts from USML to CCL and how to apply the new definition of "Specially Designed" in the EAR to benefit your company. Both the EAR & ITAR Seminars will examine the details of the recent and ongoing US Export Control Reform changes with special emphasis on how those changes impact your non-US-located companies, subsidiaries and affiliates. Our instructors are widely respected experts in the field of export control compliance with over 30 years of experience in interpreting and applying the rules of the EAR, OFAC and the ITAR. Expect to leave these seminars with an in-depth understanding of what the current rules are and what you need to do to keep your company compliant. Who should attend?
