Includes the U.S. government export controls that companies need to abide by when exporting to this country.
Last Published: 7/22/2019

Relatively few exports require an export license.  Licenses are required in certain situations involving national security, foreign policy, short-supply, nuclear non-proliferation, missile technology, chemical and biological weapons, regional stability, crime control, or terrorist concerns.  License requirements are dependent upon an item's technical characteristics, the destination, the end-use, and other activities of the end-user.  For information related to U.S. Export controls, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s website at  www.export.gov/exportcontrols.html
