Export Control

All Bradley personnel must comply with export control laws, which restrict the transfer of equipment, materials, organisms, software, and information to foreign nationals who reside in the United States or abroad. Individuals convicted of violating these laws may face civil and criminal penalties, and the University could incur fines and be barred from government contracts.

The laws cover an extensive list of items; therefore, project teams must check current regulations before any transfer occurs. It is always best to err on the side of caution and seek assistance from Legal Affairs and the Office of Sponsored Programs.

Lists of Items Covered by Export Control Laws

• Bureau of Industry and Security
• Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
• United States Munitions List

Examples of items on the lists include Animals, Chemicals (alloys, ceramics, composites, compounds, elements, etc.), Electronic Devices and Components, Mechanical Devices and Components, Microorganisms, Vegetation, Sequence Data, Source Code, etc.
