Export Compliance Implementation Plan
Immediate Actions
- Assure that all exports are accurately classified and the export control documents contain the proper destination control statement, this includes Bill of Lading, Airway Bill, Commercial Invoice, Packing Slip.
All items (commodities, technology, and software) shall be classified in order to determine jurisdiction (ITAR OR EAR), and with specific ECCN, EAR99 or USML Category. Every effort shall be made to ascertain the export classification status of an item during the contract negotiation and acceptance phase. In those instances where the client states, that the item is not controlled by U.S. export laws and regulations, or that they do not know if the item is controlled, the Export Compliance Manager shall review the item’s technical characteristics and determine whether or not the item is subject to the controls of the U.S. government. Regardless, of the export determination results, all such reviews shall be documented and retained for five years.
2. All Non-U.S. Person Visitors will be screened. Results of screening shall be maintained for five years.
