With export controls, be safe and smart

A reminder about the need to do entity background checks for anything being shipped overseas.  The Office for Research Protections and Compliance has access to a dynamic database to verify if entities who are to receive shipments are restricted.  Entities with “University” or “Institute” in their name may be restricted in terms of export control regulations.  The ORPC can often complete the check within a few minutes.  

Be safe. Contact Dean Drake or Tim Sparklin if you are participating in shipping anything overseas.
