It is important to ensure that if you will be exhibiting any military/defense products or licensable commercial products at air or trade shows , items are not forwarded/exported or taken by company employees on their person to the trade/air show without required State Department or Commerce Department licensing authority or use of a license exception or exemption. It is also important to review any technical data/technology to be carried by the employee and/or provided to foreign parties during the trade show to ensure that export/transfer of that information does not require licensing authority.
Licenses can take up to 90 days to be issued, so proper planning is required. License exemptions and license exceptions can be used for some exports as long as the exports are within the requirements of the exception/exemption.
Should you have any questions or concerns with items you will be bringing overseas to a trade/air show please contact us to discuss.
