WHEN:  December 3-5, 2008
TIME:  7:30 am - 5:00 pm

December 3:  Advanced International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR):  The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) are a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of goods and services that are on the United State Munitions List.  Determining whether or not a good or a service is on the Munitions List requires a detailed analysis and is not always easy.  But ITAR is not intended to be easy.  The Advanced ITAR program will address ITAR jurisdiction, ITAR license exemptions, MLA’s, TAA’s, Warehouse License Agreements among other topics of interest for an export compliance officer who needs more than a basic level of ITAR understanding.

December 4:  Impact of US Export Controls on Foreign Companies:  U.S. export controls essentially attach themselves to products that are exported from the United States and remain attached to such products as they travel beyond their original “ship-to” destinations. This means that foreign companies need to consider US export controls, should they export the U.S. origin goods to a third country destination or when they incorporate the U.S. origin goods in foreign made products that are intended for sale to other countries.  The Foreign Country program on U.S. export controls will explain how U.S. export controls apply to foreign companies and clarify for such foreign companies what they need to do to remain compliant with U.S. export controls.  This information is critical for foreign companies who want to avoid appearing on the denial list or other “Bad Guy” lists that prohibit foreign companies’ access to U.S. origin goods and services. 

December 5:  Legal Implications of Export Violations – Disclose or Roll the Dice?:  What are your options when you discover an export violation or worse yet, what can you expect when an export enforcement officer shows up at your plant or you find yourself the subject of an investigation for an export violation?  The Export Violation program will discuss these topics as well as other topics that become relevant when an export violation raises its ugly head.  The program also discusses the debarment and denial dominoes that are lined up to fall in those cases when export violations come home to roost.
