Export Controls

Export controls is a multi-faceted body of law and regulations governing the export of sensitive items, including equipment and technology used in research, which can affect a research institution in many different and unexpected ways. 

Export control issues may arise on many fronts, and non-compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements carry heavy penalties, both civil and criminal.  It is important for everyone within MIT to learn how to recognize export control issues when they arise in our daily work and to understand the resources available within MIT to deal with them.
