U.S. Export Classification for UK Practitioners
U.S. Export Classification for UK Practitioners.
Summary.
This practitioner-level training course gives learners in the UK the foundation for conducting and/or validating U.S. jurisdiction and classification assessments of U.S.-origin items by analysing the critical factors to be considered – which are not always explicit in the regulations -- and the methods for conducting such assessments. The factors include the differences between the philosophies of the ITAR and EAR when reviewing items, analysis of the pivotal definitions to understand when information is export controlled, guidance on the issue of ITAR contamination of non-U.S. items, and tips for reading the control lists. The course also discusses the role effective jurisdiction and classification plays in a company’s compliance programme, including best practices for documenting the determination process. The course presents information, analysis, and commentary that address issues of particular relevance to compliance practitioners operating within the UK.
Upon completing your course, you will earn Continuing Professional Development units from the Institute of Export and International Trade.
