UGA is taking deliberate steps to enhance its export control compliance program, with the goal of facilitating compliance by the research community.

Export controls are the U.S. laws and regulations that govern the transfer of controlled items or information to foreign nationals, countries, and entities for reasons of national security and foreign policy. Compliance enhancements include the addition of a dedicated export control compliance officer within the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the development of user-friendly export procedures, awareness training, and an export control website that provides compliance related information.

Export controls are implicated in the physical international shipment of controlled items, the disclosure of controlled information to foreign nationals on the UGA campus, and in transactions with sanctioned parties.

Please contact Dan Runge, Export Compliance Officer, at 542-4188 or drunge@uga.edu if you have questions or concerns.
