Export Control

Export control refers to government regulations that manage the export of sensitive goods, technologies, and information for national security, foreign policy, and economic reasons. It ensures that certain products, like advanced technology or weapons, are not sent to countries or entities that could misuse them. These controls help protect national interests and prevent the proliferation of dangerous technologies. Companies that want to export controlled items must receive government permission, and noncompliance can lead to serious legal consequences. Essentially, it's about balancing trade with safety and security concerns.
