What You Need to Know about Shipping Internationally
Shipping SDSU or SDSURF owned equipment overseas is an export and should be reviewed by the Export Control Officer. The Export Control Officer can advise on licensing requirements.
Physical shipments to other countries will need to be reviewed on a case by case basis to determine export classification (ECCN or ITAR category), export licensing requirements or license exceptions and any required Automated Export System (AES) filing for shipments valued over $2500.
ITAR Controlled Shipments
-
If a commodity is controlled under ITAR, then a license is almost always required before it can be shipped to any country outside the United States, more than 12 nautical miles by sea, or over the border, except in limited circumstances such as shipment to a military base overseas. Licenses are also required to import such items.
EAR Controlled Shipments
-
For commodities controlled under EAR, whether a license is required depends upon the country to which the item is being shipped. Even in cases where license approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce is not required to ship the item to the country, there are administrative requirements and records that must be maintained regarding shipments of EAR controlled items out of the United States.
