Policy and Guidance

Yes. The University of Arizona, as outlined in its Export Control Policy, is committed to complying with U.S. export controls laws and regulations that apply to its activities, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations.

Export Control applies for all export control licenses on behalf of the University. NOTE: Obtaining an export license may take several months and there is no guarantee that the U.S. government will approve a license request.

Primary Investigators (PIs) are responsible for:

1. Assisting Export Control in the identification of activities that may intersect with export control regulations;
2. Maintaining a current export control training certification;
3. Confirming with Export Control all project personnel have completed training and are cleared to access export-controlled items;
4. Notifying Export Control of potential violations.
