Export Control

The University of Miami conducts focused research to advance knowledge, enhance student learning experiences, and build its reputation in the scientific and technical communities while providing positive returns on sponsoring partners’ investments.

Faculty and staff are responsible for maintaining compliance with export control laws. This website provides assistance in determining if and how export control regulations apply and obtaining the appropriate export license(s) before controlled items or technical data are transferred across U.S. boundaries or are accessed by foreign nationals on campus.

These laws may apply if you:

Host foreign nationals in your laboratory (students, postdocs, staff, visitors)
Travel internationally
Ship or hand carry items internationally
Perform field research
Have international collaborations

SYSTEMS & TOOLS

Federal Regulations including current United States Government's best practices, as well as Florida statutes, require conducting Restricted Party Screening (RPS) to verify that the parties/entities for which UM is having business interchanges and interactions do not appear on any denied/restricted/debarred list. UM personnel are responsible for ensuring that foreign persons or entities (including students, visitors, observers, outside services vendors, etc.), have been screened, prior to engaging in business activities, to confirm that the person or entity does not appear on any agency list of denied/excluded parties. This activity is done through the UM Export Control Office (ECO) RPS process. Contact the Export Control office.

The RPS system performs screening against all relevant U.S. Government lists, including: Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Department of State, Department of Commerce, Department of Justice, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Office of Inspector General (OIG), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), General Services Administration (GSA).
