Export Controls & Defense Procurement: ITAR/EAR Basics for Small Companies


Event Details

Learn the key differences between ITAR and EAR and how they apply to small companies pursuing defense contracts and exports of defense-related products, services and technologies. Explore common mistakes, lessons from enforcement cases, and practical steps to build a simple export compliance program.

Join DSG Global LLC’s panel of experienced international trade and export-control professionals for an engaging, practical discussion of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), specifically designed for companies with limited compliance resources.

Learning Objectives:

  • ITAR vs. EAR: Understand jurisdiction, classification, licensing, and registration requirements.
  • Defense Contract Readiness: Identify export-control risks before accepting contracts, sharing drawings, or engaging subcontractors.
  • Technology Transfers: Navigate foreign-person access, overseas suppliers, cloud collaboration, engineering data, and technical assistance.
  • Licensing & Screening: Understand DDTC and BIS authorization processes, restricted-party screening, end-use checks, and shipment controls.
  • Lessons from Real Enforcement Cases: Examine actual government enforcement actions and discover how seemingly routine business decisions can result in significant penalties.
  • Responding to Violations: Learn what to do when a potential export-control violation is discovered.
  • Build a Practical Compliance Program: Develop a risk-based, 90-day action plan tailored to small businesses without dedicated compliance departments.

Who Should Attend?

Small and mid-sized manufacturers, defense suppliers and subcontractors, business owners, executives, legal and contracts professionals, engineering and R&D teams, procurement and supply-chain managers, and international trade compliance professionals.
