Bureau of Industry & Security

The BIS mission is to protect U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic interests by preventing the unauthorized export/reexport of items subject to the Export Administration Act and Regulations. Our priority areas of concern are:

Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery (nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile)

  • Terrorism (including designated terrorist organizations and state sponsors of terrorism)
  • Sanctions/embargoes
    - Iran
    - Syria
    - Sudan
    - North Korea
    - Cuba
    - OFAC Specially Designated Nationals & Blocked Persons
  • Unauthorized military end-use
  • Foreign policy/human rights concerns

Issues of particular concern in ASEAN:

  • Transshipment risks and “Red Flags”
    - Utilizing a freight forwarder, logistics agency, or business presence near a large transshipment port to facilitate a transaction that would otherwise require a license or be prohibited

    - Unaware of local import/export requirements which can lead to unintentional violations

    - Unwilling or unable to provide end-use/end-user information

    - Last-minute changes in shipping arrangements, routing or delivery address

    - Willing to pay top dollar, refusing routine service or warranty registration

    - Payment by wire from a third party not otherwise involved in the transaction
  • Due Diligence and Risk Mitigation strategies
  • Screen clients against US sanctions lists
  • Consolidated Screening list available at

  • Secure an end-user statement from your client
