Shipping Items to Foreign Destinations
Compliance with export controls for physical shipments is a shared responsibility, involving the Office of Export Controls (OEC), Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØDistribution Services, and the CU-affiliated individual initiating the shipment.
Export controls apply to almost any physical item shipped from the University to a foreign destination, regardless of whether the item is sold, donated, loaned, or used in the field for research. Even items shipped to a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØemployee, for only temporary use abroad, as well as items shipped as part of a fundamental research project, must be cleared and documented for export controls compliance. Although the majority of items will not likely require an export license; there are still requirements to classify the item according to relevant regulations, to assess the intended foreign end-user, and to file the appropriate electronic export information (EEI) describing the shipment (when required).
All shippers must follow the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder International Shipping and Hand-Carry Policy.
To initiate an international shipment, please refer to the process on Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØDistribution Services website.
Failure to follow the international shipping process or international hand-carry process, or failure to provide complete and accurate information to Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØDistribution Services or OEC, may lead to corrective or disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or affiliation with Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder.ÌýÌý
