“Deemed” exports and reexports are both extremely common, and commonly misunderstood. If your company employs foreign nationals, works with contractors who do, shares technology with entities in other countries (particularly in the EU, with its fluid work force), contracts with universities to do research, outsources IT or uses cloud servers, or does pretty much anything else that companies do in the 21st Century, you may have a deemed export or re-export risk.  Ensuring that you have a compliance plan in place to identify and address these risks can not only significantly reduce your risk; it can also be an important mitigating factor if you (or the government) uncover a violation.

The webinar will help to identify deemed export (or reexport) risks and how to manage them (while protecting against violations of anti-discrimination laws), as well as help identify what to do when things go wrong. Among other topics, we will discuss what is a deemed export, what sorts of information and activities are subject to the rule, how are deemed exports impacted by Export Control Reform, how are deemed exports treated differently under the EAR and the ITAR, what types of license exceptions might be useful in a deemed export situation (e.g., STA or TSR), and how should different stakeholders in your company, including Engineering/R&D, HR, IT, and others work together to avoid costly violations. We will focus on real-world examples and procedures that work.
