ABOUT EXPORT COMPLIANCE

Foxguard’s export compliance program is an essential part of our company’s mission to protect the products, technologies, and technical data that we develop for our customers from unauthorized disclosure. Export compliance covers laws and regulations for transferring equipment and/or information from one jurisdiction to another.

WHY ARE EXPORTS REGULATED?

Export regulations are intended to protect national security, national economic interests, and technical data and information from malicious actors. Proper licensing, classification, documentation, and fact-checking ensure that equipment and information are not sent to a prohibited destination or disclosed to a sanctioned individual.
