Customers in highly regulated industries, such as those in aerospace and defense, industrial machinery and components, high tech, chemicals, and energy are often required to comply with complex export control regulations on technical data. New rules implementing export control reforms become effective October 15, 2013. These reforms include the transfer of less sensitive military items currently controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to the more flexible Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that the Department of Commerce administers. This webinar will cover the key proposed updates and the timeline for implementation.
