Export Control
Export controls are designed to protect items and information critical to maintaining national security and foreign policy interests for the United States. Export controls apply to activities ranging from discussions with foreign nationals to the transfer of equipment. As a National Laboratory with a critical national security mission and important international collaborations, it is imperative that LANL is a responsible exporter.
Summary of Policy
Many countries, including the United States, impose restrictions on exports and other dealings with certain countries, entities, and individuals, including foreign nationals. Export controls are based on government rules and regulations that govern the transfer of both unclassified and classified commodities, technologies, and software to non-U.S. entities or individuals. Laboratory management is committed to adhering to all applicable U.S. export rules and regulations and obtaining necessary licenses or approvals. Please contact the Export Control Team with any questions.
