Order of Review Flowchart

When determining how an item is regulated under U.S. trade compliance laws, it's critical to follow the correct order of jurisdictional and regulatory checks.

Use it as a visual reference to ensure your team applies consistent logic across classification, licensing, and export decisions – and to document your reasonable care efforts in the event of a regulatory inquiry.
