Employee Responsibilities & Guidelines

Restricted Technical Data (RTD)

Do not share, email, or transmit Restricted Technical Data to any non-U.S. person without explicit written approval from the Export Control Officer. This includes foreign nationals physically present in the U.S. (Deemed Export).

Need-to-Know Basis

Access to controlled information is granted on a strict need-to-know basis. Limit access to sensitive documentation and technical files to authorized personnel only.

End-Use Verification

Verify the final destination and end-use of all products and data. Report any suspicious activities, unusual requests, or deviations from authorized use cases immediately.

Deemed Exports

Providing technical data to a foreign national in the U.S. is considered a "deemed export" under U.S. law. Always check nationality status before sharing ITAR/EAR controlled information.

Report a Violation or Suspicious Activity

Integrity is our core value. If you suspect an export compliance violation or have questions regarding the classification of data, contact the Export Control Office immediately. Anonymous reporting is supported.
