Global Export Control

Global export control refers to government regulations that manage the transfer of sensitive goods, technology, and information across international borders. These controls aim to prevent the proliferation of weapons, safeguard national security, support foreign policy goals, and protect intellectual property. They involve licensing requirements and restrictions on items like military equipment, advanced technology, and dual-use products (civilian items with potential military applications). Companies must comply with these laws when exporting to ensure they do not inadvertently aid unauthorized entities or violate international sanctions, fostering secure and responsible international trade.
