What impact does export control have on emerging technologies?

The federal government is identifying emerging technologies essential to US national security and placing new or additional export controls on these technologies. Starting in 2019, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published export controls on several emerging technologies. Please review this summary of emerging technologies and let the Export Control team (export@arizona.edu) know if you have any research or projects in these areas so we can work with you to ensure compliance.

Can export controlled items be taken abroad?

It depends on the country and the item. The U.S. government has export restrictions on certain items. Consult with Export Control to determine if your equipment, materials, data, or software is subject to these restrictions. Export Control will obtain licenses, exceptions or assist with other requirements to facilitate your travels, if required. Traveling with a “clean” laptop is recommended.

What is not subject to the deemed export rule?

For University research, there are three ways that technical information may qualify for an exclusion from the deemed export rule. Information is excluded if it:
  • Is published or disseminated in the Public Domain
  • Arises during, or results from, fundamental research
  • Is educational information released by instruction in catalog courses or associated teaching laboratories of academic institutions.
