Export Control

Federal export control laws and regulations restrict the transmission of Controlled Information and Controlled Physical Items for the purpose of protecting national, economic, security, and foreign policy interests. These laws and regulations govern the transfer of certain tangible items, software, technology, services, and information, to a foreign national or to a foreign country. Furthermore, the export control laws and regulations restrict or prohibit the transaction of business with certain countries, persons and entities that have been sanctioned by federal agencies as a threat to important U.S. interests.

Export controls may apply to a wide range of university activities including research and innovation; international programs, agreements, exchanges, and travel; procurement; information technology and services; human resources; and shipping. Export control restrictions apply to the release of controlled information and data, technologies, and commodities to foreign persons located within the United States.
