Export Compliance Information
The United States Government regulates the export and in-country transfer of night vision equipment and dual-use items — items that can be used for military as well as for civilian applications. The Department of State, through the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), enforces the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 120–130), while the Department of Commerce, through the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), enforces the Export Administration Regulations (Title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 730–780).
Depending on the country of destination, the parties involved, and the classification of the product, an export license might be required from the Department of Commerce or the Department of State.
It is the policy of Sellmark Corporation to comply with all applicable export laws and regulations. Under no circumstances will Sellmark Corporation export products without obtaining an export license from the relevant export authorities. It is unlawful to export, attempt to export, or transfer controlled items to foreign destinations and/or to Foreign Persons (non-US citizens or permanent residents), whether abroad or in the United States, without first obtaining an export license from the Department of State or the Department of Commerce.
