Includes the U.S. government export controls that companies need to abide by when exporting to this country.

Relatively few exports require an export license.  Licenses are required in certain situations involving national security, foreign policy, short-supply, nuclear non-proliferation, missile technology, chemical and biological weapons, regional stability, crime control, or terrorist concerns.  License requirements are dependent upon an item's technical characteristics, the destination, the end-use, and other activities of the end-user.  For information related to U.S. Export controls, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s website at  www.export.gov/exportcontrols.html
