Shipping Compliance

Two important U.S. export regulations that affect the manufacture, sale and distribution of commodities, technology and hardware are the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR Regulations) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR Regulations). These laws were created to protect sensitive information, technology and other items from being sold to nations that would harm American interests. ITAR and EAR Regulations list restricted items that require additional licensing or export authorization from the U.S. Government. Failure to do so could result in fines, debarment or imprisonment.

By engaging EWC’s services your company can avoid unpleasant shipment hang ups and keep your supply chain running effectively.

Being compliant is not only important to protect your company’s interests, but also important to protect U.S. national security, foreign policy and economic interests. Problems that arise with imports and exports can be costly to your company in several ways.
