Failure to obtain an export license (when required) and/or failure to correctly complete U.S. Customs filing information may result in significant criminal and monetary penalties for both individual shippers and the institution. International/U.S. Territory Shipping Reviews are completed by the Export Control Office prior to shipment. More information is available on the Mines Export Controls website.

Procedure

Step One: Read Instructions below and determine whether the International/U.S. Territory Shipment requires FIU’s Export Control Office to conduct an Export Control Review. If not, mark the Attestation that No Export Control Review is Required box below, sign and submit. If yes, proceed to step two.
Step Two: For shipments requiring an Export Control Review, you must complete the International/U.S. Territory Shipping Review Request Form and receive approval from the Export Control Office BEFORE your shipment documentation is finalized and BEFORE the shipment is delivered to (or picked up) by any shipping service.
Step Three: Once the Export Control Review is completed and you have received Export Approval, you must retain that approval for your files.
INTERNATIONAL/U.S. TERRITORY SHIPMENTS REQUIRING EXPORT REVIEW MAY NOT BE SHIPPED UNLESS EXPORT APPROVAL IS OBTAINED.
