Why our services are important to you

The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). License requirements depend on an item’s technical characteristics, destination, end user, and end use. A clear understanding of the EAR is essential to ensure that your organization is compliant with export control regulations.

The BIS maintains a force of Export Enforcement Special Agents who investigate possible violations and assist the U.S. Department of Justice and Commerce Department's Office of General Counsel in prosecuting violators. Penalties can be substantial. Link to  Don’t Let it Happen to You for examples of the consequences of non-compliance.
