fast-paced program is ideal for those with busy schedules.
Export Control Reform – March 15This

designed” and license exceptions such as use of the Strategic Trade
Authorization. The course will focus on new and different compliance
requirements. This course will be useful to defense exporters with
relatively limited exposure to the regulatory requirements of the Export
Administration Regulations, and to exporters who now will be able to
support U.S. military items without incurring International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) liability.
Recommended prerequisite: Essentials of U.S. Export Controls or Complying with U.S. Export Controls or equivalent experience.
