Export Control Awareness Training - Canberra

The Canberra ECAT will include additional presentations from the Defence Materiel Organisation on U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) from 12:00 - 13:00, and a presentation from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on sanctions. 

Is your organisation involved in the export, design, manufacture, purchase, brokerage or distribution of military or dual-use goods? If so, you need to understand Australian export controls and how they may apply to your organisation.

The Defence Export Control Office (DECO) is conducting a second round of free Export Control Awareness Training (ECAT) for 2012 between September and November.

The ECAT session will cover a broad range of export control considerations, including:  

  •         management of controlled goods and how they are assessed
  •         exporters’ obligations and the licensing process
  •         interacting with DECO and practical tips for efficient processing
  •         the introduction of the online permission application system
  •         the US/Australia Defence Trade Treaty 
  •        changes to legislation: brokering and intangible transfers of technology
