Export Controls

Overview

A core value of the University of New Hampshire is the open exchange of research and scholarly information both within the University and between the University and the public.  This value is supported by the University’s policies on Openness, Access, and Participation in Research and Scholarly Activities and Classified Work, which describe how University research and scholarship are conducted in an open environment, regardless of whether or not a sponsored program is involved.

All the same, the University of New Hampshire is committed to complying fully and completely with all United States export control laws and regulations, including:

  • Export Administration Regulations (EAR) -- U.S. Department of Commerce

  • International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) -- U.S. Department of State

  • Embargo regulations --  U.S. Treasury Department ,Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
