Baylor's Office of Export Compliance has created training presentations to help you understand the relevancy of the U. S. export controls. They can be viewed by clicking on the titles below:
Learn about what export compliance is and to identify situations or instances of risk in the everyday tasks of University faculty and staff.
The FRE covers basic and applied research results that will be broadly shared and publicly accessible. Foreign national faculty, staff, students, and visiting scholars in the University community can access technical results of research programs performed under the Fundamental Research Exclusion without a license while on campus.
There are U.S. government regulations that Baylor University and its faculty, staff, and students must follow. They are known as the export control regulations. At times, a government license is needed from one or more of the three main agencies before sending or sharing export-controlled equipment, parts, materials, chemicals, software, or technology outside the U.S. For certain research programs, these regulations also bring compliance requirements before a foreign national in the U.S. can legally work on the program. That requirement is often called the Deemed Export Rule.
Are you interested in expanding your academic or research endeavors into Cuba or Iran? Let’s talk about important compliance considerations you need to know before moving forward. There are federal government regulations - referred to as Export Controls - that Baylor’s faculty, staff, and students must follow when working in Cuba or Iran - and when working with individuals from either country. The regulations stem from the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, also known as OFAC. OFAC regulations encompass economic sanctions and embargoes to support the country’s national security or foreign policy. The U.S. sanctions are similar to, but not necessarily identical to the United Nations sanctions. Cuba and Iran are only two of the multiple countries with active sanctions imposed on them.
Does Your Department Have Questions?
The Office of Export Compliance is available to provide detailed training to individual departments or groups to highlight the specific aspects of the U.S. export control regulations that are most relevant.
