Timothy O'Toole will speak in the Export Compliance Training Institute (ECTI) Seminar Series event, "ITAR Controls & EAR/OFAC Controls" on June 11, 2020, in Alexandria, VA. O'Toole will present on Export Administration Regulations (EAR) enforcement.

This seminar series provides both novice and experienced export compliance professionals with a comprehensive education on complying with United States export regulations and will cover recent ECR changes and potential coming changes from a new administration and what they could mean for your compliance programs. Reform changes have relaxed the controls on some defense-related items and technology, but made understanding and complying with the regulations even more complicated. The shift of many military and space items from the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to the EAR obliges exporters to learn the challenging ins and outs of the EAR. There is good news in the fact that the complex rules impose significantly fewer compliance burdens and fewer compliance-based export delays.
