Export control

Export control regulations are essential to protecting national security and keeping sensitive technologies out of the wrong hands. Industries such as aerospace & defense must comply with these regulations to avoid serious penalties. Everyone in the supply chain is responsible for following these laws and regulations, and responsible for knowing that your customer and your supplier are legally authorized to have access to the export-controlled item or service.
