Why Do We Ask for End User Statements?

The U.S. Government controls exports of sensitive equipment, software and technology as a way of promoting their national security interests and foreign policy objectives.

We work with a number of manufacturing partners based in the United States, and some of them make a practice of requesting End Use Statements for all international orders, and for all items, whether a license is technically required or not.

This includes items that are coded as EAR 99, which means that they are still subject to Export Administration Regulations, but they don't have an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) on the Commerce Control List.

The majority of the boards and systems that we sell are considered 'dual-use', and do have an ECCN, rather than an EAR 99 classification, which is why our partners record the end user information for their products. By obtaining the "End User Statement" they are able to properly identify any license requirements and exceptions.

If you have any problems completing an End User Statement for one of our partners we are here to help. Please contact the team here on 01672 511166 and we can go through it with you step by step.
