This webinar will introduce you to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), provide an understanding of how the EAR may impact your operations, and create a foundation upon which you can build your export compliance training.

The U.S. Department of Commerce administers the EAR (15 CFR §§730-774), which regulate the export of “dual-use” items. These items include goods and related technology, including technical data and technical assistance, which are designed for commercial purposes, but which could have military applications, such as computers, aircraft, and pathogens. 

Who should attend?  Anyone who works for a firm that deals with exports, reexports, or activities related to the EAR (including subcontractors to firms that export), seeking an introductory-level training about EAR. 
Even if you don’t think your firm “exports” it may still be subject to the EAR!
