Office of Export Controls
Visitor Export Control Agreement
(Non UH/RCUH Employees or Non-Students)
The University of Hawai’i (UH) system is subject to United States (US) export control laws and regulations that protect
national security and trade which include, but is not limited to, the (1) International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22
CFR Parts 120-130), implemented by the US Department of State; (2) Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR
Parts 770-774), implemented by the US Department of Commerce; and (3) Office of Foreign Asset Control Regulations
(OFAC), which is part of the US Department of the Treasury, which is primarily responsible for administering and
enforcing economic and trade sanctions against certain nations, entities, and individuals. In sum, these laws and
regulations control the export of strategic information, technology, and services, to foreign countries, as well as to
foreign nationals inside the US. Failure to comply with export control laws and regulations may lead to significant civil
and/or criminal penalties including, but not limited to, monetary penalties up to $1,000,000.00 per violation; prison term
up to 20 years; denial of export privileges; and debarment from US government contracts.
All UH visitors (meaning non-UH employees or students) must abide by US laws and regulations, including those related
to export controls. In order to prevent an inadvertent violation of US export controls, visitors are not permitted to
participate in export-controlled activities without authorization from the UH Office of Export Controls (UH OEC). If such
authorization is granted, it is explicitly noted below.
UH Export Control Program Guidelines are available at: http://www.hawaii.edu/offices/export/guidelines.pdf. Section 3
