Export Compliance at UNC-Chapel Hill

Export control regulations are a complex set of laws designed to control the transfer of information, technology, software, other items, and services considered to be important to the U.S. due to concerns regarding national security, economic competitiveness, or support of international treaties and foreign policy.

Export Control

The Export Compliance Office at UNC-Chapel Hill has the mission of ensuring University compliance with all applicable export control laws, regulations, and sanctions.
