export controls

**Chip Foundry Services complies with all export control regulations** including **US ITAR, EAR, and international export laws** — with our US facilities ITAR registered for defense and aerospace projects, comprehensive export compliance program ensuring proper classification and licensing, and extensive experience with restricted technologies and controlled customers across defense, aerospace, encryption, and dual-use applications. Export control services include product classification (ECCN determination under EAR, ITAR vs EAR determination, jurisdiction requests to DDTC/BIS), export license applications and management (prepare and submit license applications, track license status, manage license conditions and reporting), restricted party screening (automated screening against SDN, Entity List, Denied Persons, Debarred List), technology transfer controls (deemed export controls for foreign nationals, technical data transfer procedures), and compliance training and documentation (employee training, compliance procedures, audit support). For ITAR projects, we provide US persons-only teams (engineers with US citizenship or permanent residency, background checks and security clearances), secure facilities with access controls (badge access, visitor logs, restricted areas, SCIF available), classified information handling procedures (proper storage, transmission, destruction of classified materials), and government security clearances as required (facility clearance, personnel clearances up to Secret level). For EAR-controlled items, we handle license applications to BIS (prepare technical descriptions, end-use statements, support documentation), license exceptions (ENC for encryption, TSU for software updates, CIV for civil end-users), deemed export controls for foreign nationals (track foreign national access, obtain licenses as needed), and encryption registration and classification (CCATS, self-classification, BIS review). Our compliance program includes automated restricted party screening (screen all customers, suppliers, employees against restricted lists), export documentation and record keeping (maintain records for 5 years, audit trail for all exports), regular compliance audits and training (annual audits, quarterly training, policy updates), and dedicated export compliance officer (full-time compliance professional, direct access to management). We can ship to most countries worldwide with proper licensing (200+ countries served), handle controlled technologies (encryption up to any key length, military specifications, dual-use technologies), support government and defense contractors (DOD, intelligence community, aerospace primes), and provide compliance documentation for customer exports (end-use certificates, import certificates, re-export authorizations). Restrictions include cannot ship to embargoed countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus), cannot work with restricted entities (SDN list, Entity List, Denied Persons, Debarred List), require export licenses for controlled items to certain countries (China, Russia, Venezuela for certain technologies), and require US persons for ITAR projects (no foreign national access to ITAR technical data).
