Decision Tree Final

Good News! You do not need to obtain an export license.

Just two more steps before you can ship or hand carry tangible items internationally or share export controlled information with foreign persons.

1) Because several federal agencies restrict or prohibit transactions with certain individuals and organizations, you must first conduct a Restricted Party Screen to confirm and document that both the international recipient and the recipient's organization with which you are transacting/collaborating is not identified on a US Government restricted party list (a Restricted Party Screen does not apply to UPRM-owned laptops, PDAs and cell phones taken on international travel for personal use); and 

2) Having reached this page, you have confirmed that your shipment, hand-carry, disclosure, or temporary international travel with UPRM laptops, tablets and cell phones does not require an export license. If you still have questions, the Export Control Officer can provide immediate assistance.

Why document? Because UPRM Export Control Rules REQUIRES that all activity subject to US export controls be documented to demonstrate UPRM's due diligence and its compliance with applicable US laws. You may ship, hand carry or share when you've submitted your certification and have confirmed that your recipient/collaborator and their affiliated organization is not a restricted party.

If you have any questions, contact Dr. María Amador-Dumois, Interim Export Control Officer, Research and Development Center, at extension 5344 and via e-mail at exportcontrols@uprm.edu.
