Export Controls - A relatively small number of products exported from the United States require an export license from either the U.S. Department of Commerce or another U.S. agency like the State Department. Do your products require an export license? It depends on their technical characteristics, the destination, the end-users and the end uses. Our Online Export Controls Tool helps you make that determination. And because this information is stored online on our secure web server, you can be sure that you are accessing the most current information available.

Product Classification Tool - Our Online Product Classification Tool provides several search methods for identifying ECCN numbers, Schedule B numbers, and Harmonized Tariff Schedule numbers. The online product classification process is faster and easier than the traditional method of pouring through volumes of printed books and regulations. And because this information is stored online on our secure web server, you can be sure that you are accessing the most current information available.

Trade Party Screening - No matter who you are, where you are located, and what you are exporting, governments prohibit you from exporting to certain people, companies, organizations and countries. In the United States, exporters must make sure they aren't shipping to anyone on one of several government lists of restricted parties or risk violating the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Rather than checking each of these lists individually, our Trade Party Screening Tool makes it easy for you to check all these lists at one time right from your computer. And because this information is stored online on our secure web server, you can be sure that you are accessing the most current information available.
