• Identify the primary U.S. cabinet-level agencies responsible for export regulation and enforcement, including the Department of Commerce (ITA and Bureau of Industry and Security), the Department of State (Directorate of Defense Trade Controls), the Department of the Treasury (Office of Foreign Assets Control), U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
• Differentiate the roles and authorities of U.S. export control, sanctions, enforcement, and statistical agencies, including how their responsibilities intersect across licensing, sanctions compliance, export clearance, enforcement actions, and trade data reporting.
• Explain how U.S. export policies and regulations are developed and coordinated, including the purpose and function of joint policy and advisory bodies such as the Export Administration Review Board (EARB), Advisory Committee on Export Policy (ACEP), and Technical Advisory Committees (TACs).
• Apply an agency-aware compliance perspective to export transactions, recognizing when multiple agencies may have jurisdiction and how exporters and intermediaries must navigate overlapping regulatory requirements.
