ECR/ITAR & EAR Updates
With the completion of Export Control Reform revisions to the U.S.M.L. in 2020 and the ongoing revisions to the ITAR, have you evaluated your company training? Is it updated to reflect the current U.S.M.L. controls and ITAR and the EAR 600 or 500 series elements to it? Have you trained company personnel on the regulatory changes and company procedural changes to reflect exporting under both export jurisdictions? FD Associates can provide training customized to your ITAR and EAR categories to facilitate your company personnel understanding the changes specific to your commodities and an understanding of the obligations when exporting under the ITAR, EAR, or both.
