Export Control and Security Measures Around International Travel and Conferences

Please review the Research Administration and Compliance webpage created to assist faculty, staff, and students who are traveling internationally as there are both export control and security-related issues you should consider before you leave. A few key points from the webpage:

  • Anything you take out of the U.S. is an export, including data on laptops and cell phones, and is subject to US export control regulations.
  • NC Travelers traveling abroad should submit an international travel authorization prior to travel. The request process will help guide you through potential export control considerations specific to your travel plans.
  • Be careful of what you say during Q&A sessions or in conversations. Providing any information about the design, development, engineering, manufacture, production, assembly, testing, repair, maintenance, modification, operation, demilitarization, destruction, processing, or use of defense articles is an export control violation.
