The Export Practitioner and Washington Tariff & Trade Letter

Present a Live Audio-Conference on

2013 ITAR Enforcement Cases:

Impact & Implications
So far this year, the U.S. Department of States Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) has imposed more than $40 million in civil fines on defense exporters for alleged violations of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Also noteworthy is the recent debarment of a former Honeywell Empowered Official. As part of its consent agreements with Raytheon, Aeroflex and Meggitt-USA, DDTC has required the firms to take extensive and costly remedial steps to prevent future violations. On this timely and detailed 90-minute session you will hear what two seasoned export compliance and legal experts see as the practical impact and implications of these cases and what you can learn from them. Our speakers will dig deep into the details of the DDTC draft charging letters and consent agreements to highlight mistakes you need to avoid and what remedial actions DDTC will likely expect, if you ever face similar potential complaints, investigations and settlements.

Tuesday, December 17, 2013 2:00 to 3:30 P.M. (Eastern)
