Export controls are U.S. laws that regulate the distribution to foreign nationals, foreign entities and foreign countries of strategically important technology, services and information for reasons of foreign policy and national security. Export control laws apply to all activities – not just sponsored research projects. The University of Maryland Baltimore is committed to full compliance with all applicable regulations that govern U.S. exports, sanctions and embargoes. Penalties for non-compliance with export control laws are severe and impact both the institution and the researcher. This website is intended to help the university research community understand the impact of these critical compliance responsibilities by providing essential export control information and relating how it applies to the university and its personnel.
