Export Compliance

With the frequent shipment of commodities, software and technology to foreign destinations, it’s more important than ever for companies to comply with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which govern the export and import of commercial items. The attorneys at Shipman & Goodwin have experience in helping clients manage export controls and licensing matters for a diverse range of products and destinations. We provide legal counsel and strategic advice to clients to enable them to operate in compliance with Import/Export and Maritime laws and regulations administered by the United States Department of Commerce, State, Defense, the Federal Maritime Commission, and the United States Treasury, as well as customs and advice related to required customs compliance with foreign ministries.

We advise clients on export licensing issues including the export classification of products and technologies, review of available licensing, exception or exemption options for specific transactions as well for ongoing export relationships. This includes providing analysis of applicable laws and regulations and assisting clients in the required filings to obtain export licenses.

We provide clients with the necessary framework to establish internal compliance programs and to develop internal procedures to help clients recognize and resolve compliance issues that they may encounter during the export functions of their business.
