George Boggs has experience in all areas of international trade controls, including compliance counseling as to the various regulatory regimes administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) of the Department of Commerce (Export Administration Regulations); the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”) of the Department of State (ITAR regulations); the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (executive orders and sanction laws and regulations); the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the manufacture, import, and export of certain military weapons; and the Department of Energy regarding the export of nuclear technology and services.
George advises clients on the application of these regulatory regimes to export and re-export transactions. He reviews proposed transactions for compliance with trade control laws, conducts export control and customs due diligence in mergers and acquisitions, and reviews and/or prepares internal technology control and compliance programs and corporate international trade policies. Because companies often need to know whether their technology and/or products are regulated by the Department of State or the Department of Commerce, he advises such companies on making self-classifications and/or preparing and filing commodity jurisdiction requests with DDTC.
