Template Guide

How to Use the Export Control Review Template

When to Use This Template

Deploy this template before transferring any technical data, defense articles, or controlled technology across borders or to foreign nationals.

  • Before releasing CAD files, technical specifications, or software to offshore teams
  • When hosting foreign visitors with access to ITAR or EAR-controlled facilities
  • Prior to contract negotiations involving dual-use commodities or defense services

What This Template Covers

This template documents classification determinations, recipient screening, and license requirements to ensure ITAR and EAR compliance.

  • USML category or ECCN assignment with commodity jurisdiction rationale and owner
  • End-user screening results, destination country analysis, and Red Flag assessments
  • License requirement determination including exemptions, provisos, or Technology Control Plan needs

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Most reviews fail by skipping destination country controls or misapplying exemptions without documented justification.

  • Relying on outdated ECCN classifications after Commerce Control List updates (results in violations)
  • Omitting screening for denied parties against BIS, OFAC, and State Department lists
  • Approving releases under License Exception without verifying all eligibility criteria are met
