Tim O'Toole will speak at the Export Compliance Training Institute (ECTI) Export Controls Seminar Series in Austin, TX, from September 11-14, 2023. O'Toole is an instructor for the series and present on ITAR, EAR, and OFAC controls.

This seminar series provides both novice and experienced export compliance professionals with a comprehensive education on complying with United States export regulations. We will review recent ECR changes and potential coming changes from a new administration and what they could mean for your compliance programs. Reform changes have relaxed the controls on some defense-related items and technology, but made understanding and complying with the regulations even more complicated. The shift of many military and space items from the ITAR to the EAR obliges exporters to learn the challenging ins and outs of the EAR. There is good news in the fact that the complex rules impose significantly fewer compliance burdens and fewer compliance-based export delays.
