Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The District Export Council contributes leadership and international trade expertise to complement the U.S. Commercial Services export promotion efforts through counseling businesses on the exporting process and conducting trade education and community outreach.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Program led by BIS's professional counseling staff provides an in-depth examination of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The program covers information exporters need to know to comply with U.S. export control requirements on commercial goods. Focuses on what items and activities are subject to the EAR; steps to take to determine the export licensing requirements for company's items; how to determine company's export control classification number (ECCN); when companies can export or reexport without applying for a license; export clearance procedures and record keeping requirements; Export Management Compliance Program (EMCP) concepts; and real life examples in applying this information. Presenters conduct a number of "hands-on" exercises that prepare companies to apply the regulations to their export activities.-$100,461
