U.S. Export Controls from Launch Pad to Splashdown

The applicability of U.S. export controls and sanctions to the growing space industry is examined. As space becomes more available to commercial parties, compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and OFAC sanctions programs will be a key factor to succeeding in the emerging market. Topics covered will include policy objectives of U.S. trade controls, agency jurisdiction, ITAR versus EAR classification, export and reexport concepts (including deemed exports), license requirements, and Know Your Customer (KYC) screening and recordkeeping obligations. This program will give attendees an understanding of how U.S. export controls apply in practice and ways to identify potential compliance risk.
