What are end user export controls?
End user export controls are export prohibitions or export restrictions that are prescribed against certain specified individuals and companies (restricted persons) by the Department of State, the Department of Commerce and the Department of Treasury. Each of these agencies produces one or more restricted persons lists. These lists currently include the State Department’s debarred persons list, the Commerce Department’s denied persons list and Entity List, and the Treasury Department’s list of specially designated nationals. All U.S. exporters must screen the names of their buyers and end users against each of these restricted persons lists before completing a proposed export transaction to determine if such buyers and/or end users are prohibited (an export sale cannot be made to these individuals) or restricted (an export sale can be made only under an export license).
