Export Policies and Procedures are an export compliance program that primarily controls sales/shipment of product but also have controls for technical data, detail proper export documentation & record keeping, and detail a company’s audit and training plan. The Technology Control Plan is a guide to restrict controlled information and product from foreign visitors and employees. Together, a company’s Policies and Procedures and Technology Control Plan are a necessary export compliance program to ensure compliance with changing U.S. export laws.
Export Policies and Procedures and a Technology Control Plan are important not just to prevent a violation, but are also your first line of defense if a violation should occur. DDTC will also require a copy of your Policies and Procedures should you need to file a 60-day notification of a Merger/Acquisition/Divestiture. You will also be asked if you have written Policies and Procedures when you apply for or renew your PM/DTC registration.
