Policies

Northwestern researchers and their teams are responsible for understanding and complying with federal export control regulations. Export Controls & International Compliance assists investigators and their teams in complying with export control laws; however, the primary responsibility rests with the person engaged in exporting activities. Violation consequences can be severe, including criminal and civil penalties. Please get in touch with Export Controls & International Compliance  with any questions or concerns.
