Parts made by more than a dozen US and Western companies were found inside a single Iranian drone downed in Ukraine last fall, according to a Ukrainian intelligence assessment. The finding underscores the importance of certifying end users and end use, even for EAR99 and other non-licensable ECCNs. Your company should be receiving a negative end use statement for all exports in which your customer certifies that the items will not be transferred or reexported to sanctioned parties or destinations. Such certification can help to keep items out of the hands of hostile forces as well as avoiding negative publicity if, and when, the manufacturer or exporter of the items illicitly transferred is revealed. Please contact our office and we can assist you in ensuring you are receiving the proper certification from your customers.
