Global Export Control Classification Master Session

Will the U.S. export control classification that I have for my product/technology apply in other countries with export controls? 
 

It’s an everyday question in the world of global trade compliance, and the answer usually is “there’s a 50-50 chance.”

Batting 50-50 will get you in the baseball Hall of Fame, classifying your items 50-50 is more likely to get you in the export compliance Hall of Shame. Especially in jurisdictions outside the U.S., where an item’s classification often is the only factor determining whether it requires a license to export, because you typically won’t find “Reasons for Control”, “Country Charts”, or codified “License Exceptions”. Moreover, some of the major exporting economies outside the U.S. don’t even use five-digit export classification numbers like U.S. ECCNs. The only numbers you’ll find on their control lists are Harmonized System (HS)-based tariff codes!

This “Global Export Control Classification Master Session” webinar won’t be able to provide every classification for every item and every country, but it will get you going in the right direction. It will be valuable to everyone in the business from company strategists to export compliance personnel and sales teams, as well as businesses in almost any export controlled industry operating in and/or trading with jurisdictions outside the U.S. and EU.

Specifically, this webinar will provide the following:

• A breakdown of the export control lists and coding systems found in most regions of the world, including Asia Pacific, Latin America, South Asia, the Middle East, Russia and Central Asia, and Eastern Europe;

• A review of how the export control list entries of select industrial machinery, electronics, telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, encryption, chemical, special materials, nuclear, biological, military, and other products and technologies in countries of those regions compare to what you’d find in the U.S. and EU;

• Insight into how the equivalent of U.S. Commerce Control List (CCL) “500-series” and “600-series” items would be classified under foreign jurisdictions (especially the ones that license imports of munitions!);

• Specific foreign jurisdiction export control classification case studies;

• Recommended approaches to classifying your products and technologies for export control purposes in foreign jurisdictions and to organizing and maintaining those classifications as part of your internal compliance program (ICP); and,

• Information on export control classification resources and assistance available in foreign jurisdictions.  

This webinar will provide PowerPoint slides and include live video and commentary from Jay Nash who specializes in non-U.S. trade controls and compliance. Mr. Nash has worked with national governments from every region of the world to provide guidance and support on establishing domestic export control systems and developing compliance tools and resources for industry.  Mr. Nash is a regular speaker and presenter at regional and international export control conferences and he has published on East Asian trade control developments in the U.S., Japan, and Korea. Webinar participants are invited to submit questions during the webinar; the final 30 minutes of the webinar will be allotted to answering attendees' questions.
