ITAR Controls Seminar

The ITAR Controls Seminar is a comprehensive training program designed for export compliance professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of U.S. export regulations and procedures, particularly those administered by the Departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury. This event targets both new and experienced professionals, providing them with the necessary insights to navigate the complexities of export compliance effectively.

Attendees will benefit from the expertise of seasoned instructors who bring decades of experience in interpreting U.S. regulations and compliance requirements. Participants can expect to engage with a range of topics, including the Export Control Policy, key governing agencies, compliance resources, as well as the intricacies of ITAR, EAR, and OFAC regulations.

The seminar will cover essential areas such as licensing requirements, exemptions, and the technicalities of registering with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Attendees will learn about jurisdictional distinctions between ITAR and EAR, understanding the U.S. Munitions List, and the classification of defense articles. Key topics will also include the management of technical data and software, dual and third-country national employment considerations, and the nuances of the Automated Export System (AES) for filing Electronic Export Information (EEI).

Furthermore, the seminar will provide insights into building effective compliance programs, addressing common compliance breakdowns, and understanding the repercussions of ITAR violations, including personal liabilities and enforcement actions. This event is particularly valuable for project managers and compliance specialists operating in regions such as the USA, Ghana, and Nigeria.

With an expected attendance of around 50 participants and a single exhibitor, the ITAR Controls Seminar promises to be an intimate and impactful learning experience for those involved in export compliance.
