STR Webinar: Export Jurisdiction and Classification Basics
This webinar will help exporters understand issues related to jurisdiction and product classification and the impact these have on export licensing requirements and export compliance generally.
When handling an export transaction it is critical to understand whether the product is subject to the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Industry and Security or the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. Items of a dual-use nature (i.e., those with both commercial and defense applications) are subject to BIS jurisdiction and classified under the Commerce Control List pursuant to the Export Administration Regulations. Defense articles and services, on the other hand, are subject to DDTC jurisdiction and classified under the U.S. Munitions List pursuant to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
Exporters must also be certain of the classification of the product under the CCL or the USML, which will dictate whether an export license is required.
