The e-cast will cover the new rules and changes to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that move a very large set of controlled parts common to the State Department’s U.S. Munitions List (USML) Category VIII over to the Commerce Control List (CCL) to be authorized for export to 36 countries. The attorneys will discuss how these reforms will affect the military electronics suppliers, including new requirements and potential pitfalls.

Topics to be discussed include:

Classification in the framework of ECR.
New definition of "Specially Designed."
What is moving to the CCL and what is not and how to know the difference.
Potential pitfalls/common mistakes to avoid.

Cost of the event is $99. For more information, visit http://ecast.opensystemsmedia.com/426.
