PrintThe federal government has a number of controls in place that limit the export of technical data, goods, and commodities to other countries. Certain types of goods and technologies are especially sensitive, particularly those with potential military applications (see more on the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITAR), and certain countries are under economic embargoes that influence both direct exportation and "transshipment" through another country. Regulations in this area are complex-- FAS Research Administration Services (Pat Fitzgerald, 5-4083) should be consulted before shipping materials overseas.
