1:05 | Commodity Jurisdiction and Classification Panel

Candace M. J. Goforth, Content Enablers Trade Advisory Services
Chris Weil, DDTC
Susan Daoussi, DTSA 

Before you can export, you must determine which regulation (ITAR or EAR) applies to the product or technology. Determination of the “jurisdiction” is the first critical step. Next you must determine the applicable export “classification” – either U.S. Munitions List (USML) category or Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). This panel will address the process to make a self-determination on jurisdiction and classification. It will address the “specially designed” analysis. The process to submit and obtain a Commodity Jurisdiction determination will be covered to support companies that cannot make a self-determination.

Hands-on experience will be gained by walking through the commodity jurisdiction and export classification process of aerospace and defense systems/products.  This will require participants to access the ITAR and EAR to analyze products against provided criteria and make a jurisdiction and classification determination. 

Presentation materials will be posted here as soon as they become available
