Exporting Network Hardware: 12 Signs of Potential Trouble

When it comes to exporting network hardware, or any high-tech spare parts for that matter, it is important to exercise extreme care to follow all Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The EAR, which is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), are export control laws that affect the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of technology.

EAR specifically controls the export of “dual-use” goods, technology, and software that could have both consumer and military applications. Such items are listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL) and may require a license to export. That can be tricky to determine, which is why it is best to join forces with a service parts logistics partner, such as Flash Global, that has a strong trade compliance program.
