Export-controls law is more than a bit complicated, but extremely important for Provider to sort out. Noncompliance can lead to all kinds of trouble, including:

• imprisonment for up to 10 years
• millions of dollars in fines and civil penalties
• denial of export privileges.

For additional information, see Introduction to Commerce Department Export Controls, which has links leading to information about State Department export controls as well.

Heads-up: Disclosure to foreign nationals can constitute an "export"

Disclosure of export-restricted technical data to a foreign national, even in the U.S., can constitute a "deemed export."

Heads-up: Warranty of exportability

Sometimes Acquiring-Party will ask Provider to warrant that Provider's products are exportable without a license to one or more specific destinations. Provider should definitely consult export-controls counsel before agreeing to such a warranty.
