The primary goal of export control screening is to prevent the unauthorized export of sensitive items that could pose risks to national security, foreign policy interests, or international non-proliferation efforts. This process involves checking various aspects of the export transaction, such as the nature of the item being exported, the end-user or destination country, and the intended end-use.

Export control screening typically includes comparing the details of the export transaction against various lists and databases maintained by government agencies and international organizations. These lists may include entities, individuals, or countries subject to trade sanctions, embargoes, or other export restrictions.

MYSTCC is advocating for its members to conduct export control screening, so that they can ensure that their transactions comply with relevant export control regulations and avoid potential legal and regulatory penalties. It helps to enhance transparency, mitigate risks associated with unauthorized exports, and contribute to global efforts to prevent the proliferation of sensitive technologies and goods.
