MEMBER EVENT: NAITA Trade Compliance Roundtable
Order of Review – Classification:
The First Step to Accurate Compliance
If you are unsure which list controls your products and services and whether or not an export license is required for your shipment, software download, or technical drawing, this is the place to be!
Join NAITA, Presenting Sponsor Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, and Goforth Trade Advisors for a discussion of the order of review process. Knowing the jurisdiction and classification of your products and technology is the foundation of accurate and successful compliance. It is critically important to follow the proper order of review to classify your products and services and ultimately determine export control jurisdiction over a company’s products (U.S. Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls or U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry & Security).
About Goforth Trade Advisors & Candace Goforth:
Goforth Trade Advisors is led by three former senior members of the U.S. Department of State who were lead architects of the current revisions to U.S. export control laws under Export Control Reform, including the revisions to the U.S. Munitions List and creation of the new 600 series on the Commerce Control List.
Candace Goforth, Managing Director of Goforth Trade Advisors, will provide advice to guide companies through the proper path to determining where to start and where to go next to determine classification and on appropriately applying the new regulations to determine whether or not jurisdiction has changed. She and her colleagues regularly advise clients on this issue, assess the direct impact on clients’ business domestically and abroad, and provide clients with strategic and practical day-to-day solutions involving defense trade and export controls. Candace is a subject matter expert on the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
Prior to establishing Goforth Trade Advisors, Candace served as Policy Director in the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls at the U.S. Department of State, which is the authority for interpretation and implementation of the ITAR. As Director, Candace administered the Department of State’s implementation of President Obama’s Export Control Reform initiative and was intimately involved in the revision of the U.S. Munitions List and the Commerce Control List. Candace was also a key contributor in drafting the specially designed definition and formulating the transition plan.
At DDTC, Candace oversaw the Commodity Jurisdiction section, determining whether items are controlled on the U.S. Munitions List or Commerce Control List. Additionally, Candace managed revisions to the ITAR, including export policies related to Dual and Third Country Nationals and the Defense Trade Cooperation Treaties with the UK and Australia. The formulation of export licensing policies related to particular countries of concern was also under her purview.
