This page contains information regarding key activities on campus, which may be impacted by the Export Control regulations. Non-compliances in these areas can result in severe fines and penalties that can be levied not only against the university, but against the individuals involved in the non-compliance.
We recommend you contact the Export Control Office prior to doing any of the following to ensure your compliance.
When shipping something internationally, you should consider the item being sent, the destination and recipient. Certain international destinations have shipping restrictions. Addtionally, certain persons or organizations have had restrictions placed upon them by the US government. These requirements can restrict our ability to interact with these parties.
Please contact the Research Compliance Office prior to any international shipment so we can ensure that no issues are present.
Please refer to the training documents on shipping for more information.
When traveling internationally, you should consider the following:
You can contact the Research Compliance Office prior to travel to ensure you are compliant with all federal laws.

All H-1B and O-1 visa applicants need to be screened by the Office of Human Resources & Diversity to ensure that a license is not needed for them to conduct the work that is planned during their stay. Additionally, certain J-1 visas undergo a basic screening to make sure that the person or their home institution/organization is not restricted in a way that would limit the UW’s ability to work with them.
The Office of Human Resources & Diversity is happy to screen other visa and potential applicants at any time. Please contact Margaret Wheeler for further assistance.

We encourage you to contact the Research Compliance Office prior to purchasing from or selling to foreign vendors so we can run a Restricted Party Screening (RPS). This screening is used to ensure that vendors do not show up on a series of lists the government publishes that limit or prohibit interactions with people, companies and Universities.
Selling to or purchasing from a vendor on one of these lists can lead to consequences including large fines. An RPS screening takes less than a minute and will ensure you are not in violation.
All UW-Whitewater staff, faculty, researchers, lab workers etc. are welcome to contact the Research Compliance Office at any time for a comprehensive project review. These reviews can cover any topic that you believe may have export control implications and can include any of the items listed on this page as well as contract reviews, non-disclosure agreements, potential hires, purchases, export control requirements received from companies or the government, and anything else that you think may be relevant.
