Determining proper classification of an export has always been an important part of export compliance. This includes classification under the Harmonized System as well as export control classification.

If the transaction falls under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) or The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) determining the proper ECCN or USML Category is the responsibility of the Exporter/Seller who may also be the USPPI.

Misclassification can lead to seizer of goods, fines, penalties and even in severe cases loss of export privileges or imprisonment.

The combination of expanded enforcement efforts and recent changes under Export Control Reform has increased the importance and complexity of classification.

Learn what has changed, how to setup an effective classification process and how to keep your company compliant.
