EAR (Export Administration Regulations)

The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are rules issued by the U.S. government that control the export of commercial goods, technology, and information for reasons related to national security and foreign policy. They help ensure that sensitive items don’t fall into the wrong hands, such as those that could be used for military purposes or that could compromise U.S. interests. Businesses must comply with these regulations when exporting products or conducting transactions involving controlled items, obtaining necessary licenses or permissions as required.
