Course Summary:
This training—designed for members of your export compliance team—aligns with the Tier 4 requirements outlined in Element 5 of the DDTC ITAR Compliance Program Guidelines.
This export practitioner awareness course introduces learners to the six primary areas of U.S. trade compliance that they may be involved in: jurisdiction and classification, regulated activities, authorizations, authorization management, export clearance, and trade compliance programs. The course provides an overview of these areas in relation to the relevant U.S. compliance regimes, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)-administered sanctions and embargoes.
The training identifies key activities and definitions within the trade compliance environment to foster understanding of the learner's role in trade compliance.
