Commerce Export Compliance Plus Handbook – 2008

This comprehensive publication provides a clear, easy to understand discussion of the application and use of the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR).  It is truly the “how to use” resource for the EAR. This publication, when used in
conjunction with the most current edition of the EAR will enhance your compliance efforts and make the overall process
of export compliance more efficient. The handbook is periodically updated ensuring the user has references to the most
current information. Updates to the handbook will help you understand and apply the corresponding changes made in the
EAR itself.

Export Controls remain a major concern of the U.S. government and the regulations are becoming more subjective and
therefore more complex. This 400+ page handbook will guide you through the often confusing maze of regulations and
procedures that exports are subject to.  Unlike the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), this how-to handbook
addresses the unique concerns of exporters and re-exporters. To guide you through the process, the handbook includes
sample licenses, forms, letters, support documents, checklists, certifications and process flow charts. A combined
country group chart alleviates problems of flipping through numerous different country group lists in the EAR.

Recognized by the industry as the “Exporters Bible,” this handbook is a complete reference guide to understanding and
applying the new export administration regulations (EAR) to your business. 

• An essential addition to any Export Management System 
• Sample Letters and Forms with clear instructions on how to complete them
• Easy to understand explanations of the regulations in the EAR.
• Special coverage of Software, Technology and Encryption
• Your legal obligations under the EAR and record keeping requirements.

Export Administration Regulations – 2008

Everything and anything that is exported from the U.S., with the exception of the exclusive jurisdictions of other
federal agencies, is subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).  You must properly classify your exported
item using the Commerce Control List and, among other requirements, you must adhere to the prohibitions for end-user
and end-use found in Part 744 of the EAR.  The EAR provides Ten General Prohibitions that an exporter must overcome
before shipping any commodity, technology or software from the U.S.  Addressing these honestly and knowledgeably will
provide the greatest assurance of a compliant export. What about your buyer/consignee?  Though in a country closely
allied to the U.S., is that consignee on one of the many denial lists? If you are an exporter, whether large or small,
you must refer to this publication.  The EAR is subject to very frequent changes based upon our government’s strategic
national security, foreign policy and non-proliferation concerns.  In 2007, this Unz & Co. publication has been updated
more than 21 times.  You are assured of the most recent regulatory information at your fingertips.

Covering 15 CFR parts 710-774, the EAR is an indispensable reference for any person involved in exporting goods.  In
today’s climate of increased scrutiny of export shipments and documentation, companies must increase their compliance
efforts since they are subject to an extremely high standard of care in dealing with transactions related to the
transfer of items to foreign parties.  Exporters and freight forwarders can protect themselves from substantial
penalties by instituting a sound Export Management System of which the EAR is the central element. 

As someone involved in exporting goods you should be aware of:

• What is subject to the EAR

• Red Flag Indicators

• Definition of Dual Use Items

• Software, Technology and Encryption regulations

• The 10 General Prohibitions

• Denied Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, and the Entity List

• Determining your Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)

• End use/users controls

• Embargos

• Required Documentation

• License Exceptions

• SNAP

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. – 2008

It is the responsibility of the importer to properly classify merchandise entered into the U.S.  Though a broker may
provide assistance, the importer bears the sole responsibility.  Having and using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
US is absolutely necessary to fulfilling this responsibility. Correct classification using the Harmonized System is
critical for determining eligibility of goods under the many Free Trade Agreements which the U.S. has entered into.
Changes to the HTSUSA at the tariff classification and statistical suffix level occur frequently throughout the year. 
Also changing are special rates of duty as the U.S. implements new free trade agreements.  Don’t pay more customs duty
than is necessary due to using outdated references when preferential rates may be available.  Unz & Co. will keep you
updated as changes are published. Major changes were made to the system in 2007. In a recent year, this publication was
updated more than five times. Our updates will ensure that the most current regulatory information is at your
fingertips.

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS) provides the 10-digit classification and duty rates for the general
goods imported into the U.S., and for goods under tariff preference programs and trade agreements.  U.S. regulations
make the importer solely responsible for correct classification and applicable rate of duty.  This makes HTSUS
imperative for compliance.  Included are the General Rules of Interpretation and the General Notes section containing
trade preference criteria and trade agreement programs.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations – 2008

A critical publication reference if your company is involved in the export of commodities technology, technical data or
software covered by the U.S. Munitions List.  The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) covers a wide range
of goods and services that are determined by the U.S. Government to have military applications. This is the regulation
that governs such exports.  The sensitive nature of those things covered by the Munitions List simply dictates that you
have access to and reference this publication.  A current set of these regulations is the starting point towards
successful compliance. 

Known as the ITAR, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 22 CFR Parts 120 – 130, covers the export of Defense
Articles and Defense Services Regulations and is administered by the U.S. Office of Defense Trade Controls.  Included
within the pages of this handy reference is information needed by companies involved in defense and national security
areas. Included are general policies, license requirements and license forms for use in the export of defense articles.
 If you deal with munitions, defense articles, technical data, national security or provide defense services the ITAR
Directory must be on your desk.  The book explains in detail the governing regulations.

Some of the subjects covered by this ITAR Directory are:

• Definitions of the various agreements

• The United States Munitions List

• Exporter and Manufacturer Registration

• How to determine agency jurisdiction: is it dual use or a defense article

Schedule B: Classification of Exports – 2008

The Schedule B is the official schedule of commodity classifications to be used by shippers in reporting export
shipments from the United States, and in compiling the official statistics on exports of merchandise from the United
States. The classifications system presented in this Schedule reflects the adoption, in 1989, of the Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System) and the major changes in 2007. Correct classification of
exported goods is a requirement under the Foreign Trade Statistics Regulations.  Exporters are required to classify
goods leaving the U.S. to the 10-digit level based on the commodity codes found in the Schedule B to the FTSR.  Failure
to understand and apply this hierarchy of classification will lead you to frustration and, possibly, selection of an
incorrect commodity code.  This is essential information for producers/exporters claiming Free Trade Agreement
preferences for the goods they sell. 

Substantial changes have been made to the early Harmonized System, agreed by the World Customs Organization.  Since the
Schedule B is harmonized to this system, there have been substantial changes to the ten-digit codes for goods exported
from the U.S., particularly products classified in Chapters 84, 85, 87, and 90.  It is critical that every exporter be
aware of these new changes, and reports the new correct and accurate HS codes when exporting goods from the U.S.

United States Customs Regulations – 2008

One of the most significant effects of the Customs Modernization Act was the establishment of the clear requirement that
importers exercise reasonable care in importing into the United States.  A key element of reasonable care is access to
and an understanding of the Customs Regulations. For example, it is the responsibility of the importer to properly mark
imported goods with their country of origin.  You may cause your foreign vendor to undertake this task but are they
doing it in accordance with U.S. regulations? Do you know what the regulations require? The value of imported goods for
the purposes of appraisement and assessment of duty may not simply be the value reflected on the vendor’s commercial
invoice.  Do you know what the U.S. statutory inclusions to and exclusions from imported value are?  If you import
goods then you must have and reference this publication.  Even if you engage the services of a broker, you, the
importer, bear the ultimate responsibility for adherence to all aspects of the Customs Regulations.

The U.S. Customs Regulations, contained in the CFR Title 19, Parts 1 – 199, are the keystone to your thorough
understanding of your responsibilities and requirements as an importer of goods in the U.S.  Protect yourself and your
business with a subscription to the Unz & Co. U.S. Customs Regulations.  Owning, understanding, and adhering to the
regulations in the current edition of the U.S. Customs Regulations is evidence of "reasonable care."
