What happens if I made a mistake and exported something without the proper license (thereby violating the ITAR, EAR and/or OFAC laws)?
You need to voluntarily disclose this violation to the appropriate governmental agency. A voluntary disclosure can be a mitigating factor in determining any fines or penalties you may be subject to under the law. Voluntary disclosures must be made prior to the U.S. government awareness of a violation. (In other words, you get no credit for disclosing a violation after the government has already found out about it by other means.
