Government Controls

Overview

  The United States Government (USG) controls materials, technology, and the sharing of knowledge or training to entities from foreign countries. These controls apply to the entity and not the location of the transfer. For instance, if you are working with a Spanish national in Texas, the regulatory controls still apply. The requirement to follow the export and import regulations does not necessarily end with a shipment or transfer out of the country. Sometimes, the transfer can take place in the U.S. These controls are set to manage both outgoing and incoming materials or information.

Export controls are closely aligned with U.S. Foreign Policy; they are complex and change regularly based on current U.S. Policy for Foreign Governments, Countries, or Individuals. This training is designed to provide an overview of what the regulatory requirements for exporting or importing mean to U.S. businesses and how to properly navigate the complex requirements set in place by U.S. law.

TigerSwan is committed to complying with the export and import laws and regulations of the United States and each Foreign Country in which TigerSwan operates.

TigerSwan requires its employees, including its Independent Contractors (ICs), to comply with all USG regulations and to respect the purposes of export controls, which is to protect the national security of the United States.

Message
Failure to comply with U.S. Export Control Laws and Regulations could result in the loss or restriction of export privileges, as well as fines and penalties for businesses and individuals. TigerSwan is committed to being compliant with the U.S. Export Control Laws and Regulations and considers compliance mandatory for all employees, including ICs. Compliance with these regulations is not only mandatory under TigerSwan's Internal Compliance program — it's the law.
