Business travel export licensing requirements should be considered before planning your next trip abroad. This is especially the case if your organization is involved in the export of commodities or technology that are controlled by export regulations. In these cases, it may be necessary to obtain an export license, exemption, or exception before booking your flight.
Planning Your Business Export Licensing Requirements
Seriously consider what items you are planning on taking with you on your next trip. If you are taking a laptop containing restricted technical data on business travel, it is advisable that the laptop is secured using encryption. It is important to maintain positive control of laptops, cell phones, or other digital devices. If these systems are stolen or lost it may result in an export violation.
Determining if Items are Restricted
Your company’s Export Compliance Officer (ECO) should be consulted in a timely matter before business travel is booked. Consideration should be given to countries traveled to or through, items to be taken on trip, and parties to be visited. Timing should allow for any possible licensing requirements. If a license is required, there are license exceptions that can be used in lieu of a license for shipping/carrying certain technical data and equipment.
Presentations and technical documents that will be shared with foreign persons should be screened for export controlled information. Technical data that is regulated under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR) may require licensing.
