Restricted Parties

Although the U.S. government restricts sharing non-public information or shipping to certain individuals or organizations for economic and national security reasons, certain transactions with restricted parties may be permitted with an export license.  The Export Control team is available to help make that determination and secure the necessary license if required for:

• Foreign collaborations (including visitors or visiting scholars)
• International shipments
• Paying foreign persons or entities (for purchases, travel, reimbursement, etc.)
• Agreements with foreign entities

When considering whether or not a shipment, transfer or disclosure of information will require an export license, the following aspects are reviewed:

• What is being shipped or disclosed  
• Who and where it is going or who it is being disclosed to
• Whether the destination or receiving location, individual or recipient is a restricted entity

If an export license is required, it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to have it approved by the U.S. government and must be in place prior to the export or disclosure. Noncompliance with the export regulations can result in penalties of $250,000 to $1 million per violation.
