Slovenia - U.S. Export ControlsSlovenia - US Export Controls
U.S. companies may export most technology from the United States to Slovenia under general export licenses, although some equipment still requires validated export licenses from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the Department of State. The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which regulate the export and re-export of some commercial items, including “production” and “development” technology. Items subject to BIS regulations are often referred to as “dual use,” since they have both commercial and military applications. Additional information on U.S. export controls and licensing requirements is available at http://www.bis.doc.gov and http://www.bis.doc.gov/licensing/exportingbasics.htm.
BIS has developed a list of "red flags," or warning signs, intended to identify possible violations of the EAR.
BIS also provides helpful “Know Your Customer” guidance.
If an exporter has reason to believe an export control violation is taking or has taken place, they should report it to the Department of Commerce through its 24-hour hotline at 1(800) 424-2980.
The EAR does not control all goods, services, and technologies, and other U.S. government agencies regulate more specialized exports. For example, the U.S. Department of State has authority over the export and licensing of defense articles and services. A list of other U.S. government agencies and departments involved in export control and licensing is available on the BIS web site or in Supplement No. 3 to Part 730 of the EAR.
As an aid to industry in conducting electronic screenings of potential parties to regulated transactions, the Office of the United States Trade Representative offers a consolidated tool to search eleven export-screening lists from the Departments of Commerce, State, and the Treasury.
BIS also offers a variety of training sessions on export controls and licensing throughout the year to U.S. exporters, including one to two-day seminars on the basics of exporting as well as more advanced topics. Prepared by our U.S. Embassies abroad. With its network of 108 offices across the United States and in more than 75 countries, the U.S. Commercial Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce utilizes its global presence and international marketing expertise to help U.S. companies sell their products and services worldwide.
