Export Controls & Defense Procurement: ITAR/EAR Basics for Small Companies - Webinar

Learn the key differences between ITAR and EAR and how they apply to small companies pursuing defense contracts and exports of defense-related products, services and technologies.

• Lessons from Real Enforcement Cases: Examine actual government enforcement actions and discover how seemingly routine business decisions can result in significant penalties.
• Responding to Violations: Learn what to do when a potential export-control violation is discovered.
• Build a Practical Compliance Program: Develop a risk-based, 90-day action plan tailored to small businesses without dedicated compliance departments.
