How it works in practice
Build a compliance matrix by product, destination, and counterparty—not a one-page policy. Semiconductor, telecom, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing deals need early specialist review. Pair this explainer with the export-control knowledge centre for operational depth.
FAQ
Does “made in China” avoid US export rules?
No. US-origin content, software, and re-export rules can still apply to non-US companies and foreign-made items with controlled inputs.
Is screening only for SDN names?
Screening is broader: ownership rules (e.g. 50% concepts), sectoral sanctions, and export end-use red flags all matter.
