<strong>WASHINGTON</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>LEE</strong> <strong>UNIVERSITY</strong><br />

Workers and staff who plan to: 1) journey abroad; 2) actually trade or “share” (broadly described, such as email<br />

communication) technology or technology-based analysis with a non-U.S. resident, whether on U.S. or<br />

worldwide soil; or 3) enter into any agreement (including a grant) with individuals outside the U.S. in an area<br />

relevant to technology or technical innovation, should bear in mind that these actions may implicate (and in<br />

some situations may be limited by) U.S. trade management laws and rules. These laws and rules mainly<br />

concentrate on the discussing or trade of technical innovation that could have army, atomic, or aerospace<br />

programs, but in some conditions can implement to such seeming simple products as notebooks, OUKITEL U8<br />

mobile phones, PDAs, and GPS gadgets, even when they are being used on pleasure visits.<br />

Export management rules would most likely impact you under one of two scenarios: 1) going to any worldwide<br />

nation (but particularly one that is on a govt watch list) with a laptop or other system that contains certain<br />

complicated, but progressively typical technical innovation, such as security or GPS technology; 2) mailing or<br />

verifying with a worldwide pupil under a allow or otherwise about details that may have army, atomic, or<br />

aerospace application, or actually taking such details or technical innovation into overseas.<br />

Export management laws and rules have persisted for many years, but there has been a important recent pattern<br />

towards administration in the college perspective. Offenses of these laws and rules can result in serious charges<br />

for both the person violator and the School, including: municipal and legal charges of up to one thousand<br />

money per violation; up to ten years in prison; and/or lack of all govt financing.<br />

The vast majority of educating, analysis, and journey performed by W&L faculty and staff will come within<br />

one or more of the various exclusions to the trade management laws and rules. The university has developed<br />

Export Control Recommendations [http://www.pandawill.com/ulefone-be-touch-smartphone-touch-id-3gb-<br />

[http://www.pandawill.com/oukitel-u8-4g-smartphone-55-inch-mtk6735-quad-core-android-51-2gb-16gbwhite-p102066.html]<br />

and links to other resources [http://www.pandawill.com] which offer a conclusion of<br />

these exclusions. The Recommendations also contain a information of the positions performed by various<br />

individuals during the school grant/research procedure. Note that each individual faculty and employee has<br />

main liability to consider and achieve conformity with trade management laws and rules before interesting in<br />

any action that may be trade managed. If an exemption does not implement, the Workplace of Common Advice<br />

will assist you in obtaining an trade certificate, but bear in mind that this procedure usually takes three to six<br />

several weeks.<br />

We send this memo along to give you a heads-up about these laws and rules and to motivate you to seek advice<br />

from the Recommendations while planning a trip overseas or before performing analysis or working together<br />

with a non-US resident on technology or technical innovation of the kind mentioned above.<br />

Questions regarding the usefulness of trade management laws and rules should be instructed to the Workplace<br />

of Common Advice.<br />

<strong>WASHINGTON</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>LEE</strong> <strong>UNIVERSITY</strong> EXPORT CONTROL GUIDELINES<br />

Background<br />

Federal laws and rules limit the trade of certain products, details, and technical innovation in ways that impact<br />

California and Lee School. These laws and rules mainly concentrate on technical innovation that could have<br />

army, atomic, or aerospace programs, but in some conditions, can implement to such seeming simple products<br />

as notebooks and ulefone Be Touch 2 mobile phones. U.S. trade management laws and rules have persisted for<br />

decades; their usefulness to college has been of particular interest for at least the past 25 years or so. Although<br />

the events of Sept 11, 2001 led to a important increase in administration of trade management laws and rules, a<br />

pattern toward greater administration had already been ongoing. As part of this administration pattern, the<br />

various govt departments with liability for implementing trade management rules have progressively turned<br />

their attention to conformity in the college setting. Although the focus has mostly been instructed toward<br />

educational analysis organizations, all college organizations, such as small generous arts educational<br />

institutions such as California and Lee School, are affected by and must adhere to these trade management laws<br />

and rules.


Federal Penalties<br />

Export management laws and rules are serious matters that carry serious charges for both the person violator<br />

and the School, including:<br />

1. Civil charges of up to five-hundred thousand money ($500,000) per violation; seizure/forfeiture of the<br />

products, technical innovation or analysis product; and/or lack of trade rights.<br />

2. Criminal charges of up to one thousand money ($1,000,000) per violation; and/or up to ten (10) years in<br />

jail.<br />

3. Risk of losing govt financing.<br />

Guidelines<br />

Washington and Lee School plans to fully adhere to trade management laws and rules as they implement to the<br />

University’s actions. Under no conditions shall teachers, employees, or other individuals performing on part of<br />

the university take part in actions in contravention of U.S. trade management rules. Primary liability for<br />

conformity with trade management laws and rules can be found with each individual faculty or employee.<br />

Concerns regarding the usefulness of trade management laws and rules should be instructed to the Workplace<br />

of Common Advice.<br />

The vast majority of educating, analysis, and journey performed by W&L faculty and employees will come<br />

within one or more of the various exclusions to the trade management laws and rules. However, the rules have<br />

the prospective to limit certain analysis opportunities, impact book rights, and prevent worldwide cooperation<br />

in certain analysis areas. Export manages are most likely to impact W&L faculty and staff in the following<br />

possibly the actual situations:<br />

1. Traveling abroad;<br />

2. “Sharing” (broadly described and contains emails) technology or technology-based analysis with a non-<br />

US resident, whether on U.S. or worldwide soil; or<br />

3. Entering into a agreement (including a grant) relevant to technology or technical innovation.<br />

Compliance with trade manages must be considered and obtained before journeying, interesting in technology<br />

or technology-based analysis, or interesting in any other action that may be trade managed. In most situations,<br />

this will simply include verifying that the travel/research drops within an exemption to the trade management<br />

laws and rules. In the few situations where the action does not drop within an exemption, an trade certificate<br />

will need to be obtained from the relevant government agency. This procedure can take up to six (6) several<br />

weeks – therefore it is wise to plan in advance.<br />

Travel to Certain Countries<br />

If you are journeying overseas, the first thing to know is whether you are going to a nation that has been<br />

accepted by the U.S. Workplace of Foreign Resource Control (see record here:<br />

http://www.pandawill.com/ulefone-be-touch-smartphone-touch-id-3gb-16gb-mtk6752-octa-core-64bit-4g-55-<br />

inch-white-p101507.html). Go to these nations is intensely controlled, and in some conditions banned. Anyone<br />

seeking to journey to one of these nations on University-related business or analysis should seek advice from<br />

with the Workplace of Common Advice.<br />

Travel With Laptop computer systems, GPS, Cell Phones, and Other Common Items<br />

Generally discussing, and provided that you are not going to an OFAC-sanctioned nation, you may likely take<br />

laptops, GPS gadgets, OUKITEL U8 mobile phones, and other typical, individual use technical products as<br />

long as:<br />

• The system, such as any application installed on it, does not contain security technical innovation (be<br />

conscious that security is becoming more and more typical on certain gadgets and application programs);<br />

• You own the product or are using a W&L-owned device;<br />

• You will return to the U.S. with the product within one year;<br />

• The system is for individual use or is a kind of system that is regular and reasonably used within your<br />

profession;<br />

• You will maintain management over the item at all times (e.g. by keeping in your ownership or securing in a<br />

resort safe)


• The system, its application, and actual technical innovation will not be put to army use, used in space, or used<br />

to develop weaponry of mass devastation.<br />

If any of the above conditions do not implement to you, or if you have any queries, contact the Workplace of<br />

Common Advice for an individual evaluation of your journey situation.<br />

Research<br />

Most analysis performed at W&L will drop within an exemption to the trade management laws and rules.<br />

Generally, if the causing analysis is released and usually accessible to the public (or distributed usually within<br />

the medical community), the analysis is likely exempt from trade management laws and rules. However, bear<br />

in mind that these exclusions are lost if you accept certain contract conditions concerning:<br />

• Foreign nationals;<br />

• Publication limitations or pre-publication review; or<br />

• Access or submission manages.<br />

Thus, it is crucial that you properly evaluation any agreement – along with a allow – you might indication in<br />

connection with your analysis. If you see conditions dealing with any of the above problems, you are advised to<br />

contact the Workplace of Common Advice.<br />
