NAITA Export Controls & Compliance Roundtable Discussion

Jurisdiction:  Commerce v. State

March 8, 2007 • 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. • The Heritage Club

Managing the export of aerospace and defense hardware, services, and technical data presents unique challenges not faced by commodity exporters. Jurisdiction: State v. Commerce is the first step in determining whether or not an export license is required and which U.S. Government agency controls that export. This roundtable will provide an introduction to a process-orientated approach to Export Control Jurisdiction Decision-Making for End-items, Components, Accessories, Attachments, Parts or Systems (“Items”) to be exported from the United States. Discussion will focus on determining which agency has jurisdiction – DDTC (U.S. Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls) or BIS (U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry & Security). Henry H. (“Bucky”) Waller III, Director, Technology Control, QinetiQ North America Operations & Westar Aerospace & Defense Group, Incorporated, will lead the discussion and share a decision tree and best practices for making the jurisdiction determination. This is a critical issue for aerospace & defense/high-tech companies that deal with foreign customers or governments. Please register here or RSVP to naita@naita.org or 256.532.3505.

The Export Controls Roundtable Discussion will be immediately followed by the NAITA Member Mixer, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m., at The Heritage Club. Enjoy hors d'oeuvres and drinks with NAITA members. Learn about NAITA and talk with others involved in the association. Find out what NAITA has in store for 2007, as you network with your colleagues and peers! Please RSVP by March 5. There is no charge for this event.
