Export Control Act

The Export Control Act is a U.S. law that regulates the export of goods, technology, and information for national security and foreign policy reasons. It aims to prevent sensitive technologies from falling into the hands of adversaries and to promote international peace. Under this act, certain items require government approval before they can be exported. Violating these regulations can lead to significant legal penalties. The act helps ensure that exports align with the interests of national security, economic stability, and international relations.
