This is a complicated question. Numerous federal laws and regulations apply to U.S. exporters, though many of these laws and regulations only apply to either (i) certain types of exports or (ii) exports to certain countries or recipients. When evaluating their export compliance obligations, companies must assess the applicability of the EAR, ITAR, various export control laws, and the rules adopted by the BIS, DOS, OFAC, and various other federal departments and agencies.
