Standard Licensing

Licensing Process
End-User Details

  Your compliance professional will need to have an enormous amount of detail about the end-user you are exporting too, as well as any Intermediate Consignee (any other parties).

License applications require that you provide information on all your Foreign Representatives and Freight Forwarders. Applications require that the organization explain all the parties roles (why they need to participate).

Applications require a USG Point of Contact (He/She supports the export) particularly if the effort is in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. Unless the effort is totally outside a USG contract, you must provide this information. Non-USG contracts do not require a POC from the USG.

Your compliance professional will have to screen all the parties to ensure none of them are on any embargoed, debarred, or denied party lists. In addition, all U.S. Parties involved in your activity must be registered with DoS.

As you can see the detail required is enormous and your job is to assist your compliance professional in putting this data together to form an application package that will be approved by the DoS — a failure to submit a detailed application will result in a rejection and the process will have to start all over again, costing precious business time.
