The purpose of the University Export Compliance Manual is to give the reader a sense of the breadth and scope of the export control laws and to highlight risk areas specific to UNC-Chapel Hill. The reader is not expected to become an overnight expert in the area of export compliance. Rather, the University Export Compliance Manual is intended to raise awareness of potential export control issues that may affect members of the University community and provide resources that can be used to help address those issues. The Export Compliance Office can be reached directly at exportcontrol@unc.edu.
