WooCommerce US Export Compliance

WooCommerce US Export Compliance

US shop owners selling goods and services are required to comply with export regulations published by several US departments, such as the Department of Commerce, the Department of the Treasury and the Department of of State.

Each department provides its own screening list, sometimes even more than one, and all the entries, individuals, companies and others count almost 30.000 records.

“In the event that a company, entity or person on the list appears to match a party potentially involved in your export transaction, additional due diligence should be conducted before proceeding. There may be a strict export prohibition, requirement for seeking a license application, evaluation of the end-use or user to ensure it does not result in an activity prohibited by any U.S. export regulations, or other restriction.”
