Deemed Exports Tips, Challenges, and Strategies

Increasingly companies rely on an international workforce to achieve and accelerate business goals. However, for companies that are also managing export control compliance, identifying and securing export-controlled technical data is a challenge. Identifying and hiring the best candidates means carefully balancing immigration requirements, anti-discrimination laws, and export control regulations. Failing to coordinate with your legal team, human resources, and export compliance team can lead to costly regulatory violations.

• Key deemed export concepts and misconceptions;
• Technology Control Plan elements and strategies;
• The interplay of U.S. immigration requirements, anti-discrimination laws, and export control laws and regulations;
