Export Compliance
Complying with the Export Administration Regulations has always been a challenge. The regulations are complex, counterintuitive, and full of technical jargon.
We help our clients develop export compliance policies and manuals, assist with Export Commodity Classification Numbers (ECCNs), and provide legal opinions regarding licensing, license exceptions, screening for prohibited parties and denied parties, record keeping, antiboycott, deemed exports, encryption, and U.S. embargoes and sanctions.
Through coordination with the Export Import Law Institute (EILI), we provide in-person and online training on export compliance. Our online course, Export Compliance Made Simple, is widely recognized as the best resource anywhere for demystifying the Export Administration Regulations and for explaining the workings of the Bureau of Industry and Security. We also offer technical aides to enhance export compliance, including the export penalties poster and a deemed export online course.
One of the most difficult decisions a company can face is whether or not to turn itself in to enforcement officials for a possible violation of export laws. There are no fast and easy rules, and the decision must finally be the client’s. However, GRVR Attorneys help clients weigh the risks and likely benefits of filing a Voluntary Self-Disclosure.
Beyond the Export Administrations Regulations, we also assist clients with issues relating to sanctions/embargoes administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, an agency within the U.S. Department of Treasury. We also provide legal representation relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which forbids the bribing of foreign officials
