A “deemed export” is when the transfer or transmissions as described above occur within the U.S. For example, allowing a foreign national visitor or assignee access to controlled technology within an NPS work area is considered to be a deemed export. As another example, simply providing a gift to a foreign national visitor can also be considered a deemed export.
An export can be a shipment of a commodity (to include the technology to design build or use that commodity, and software) to a person in a foreign country (an export in the usual sense) or providing that commodity (including the release of the technologies and software) to a foreign national here in the United States.
- What is a “release” of technology?
Technology is “released” for export when it is available to foreign nationals for visual inspection (such as reading technical specifications, plans, blueprints, etc.); when technology is exchanged orally; or when technology is made available by practice or application under the guidance under the guidance of persons with knowledge of the technology.
- When do I need to apply for an export license for technology under the “deemed export” rule?
NPS, as a U.S. Government Agency, is normally exempt from independently applying for an export control license [see ASN (RDA) Memo] without coordination with our U.S. Government Agency sponsors. Assuming that a license is required, we must apply for an export control license under the “deemed export” rule when both of the following conditions are met: (1) we intend to transfer controlled technologies to foreign nationals in the United States; and (2) transfer of that same technology to a foreign nationals’ home country would require an export license.
