About Export Licensing

It is the policy of Sanders International to comply with all U.S. export regulations. Export licensing is a complex subject, but here is a little bit you should know.

Some aircraft parts being exported from the United States require an export license from the U.S. State Dept., or Commerce Dept. Whether a part requires a license or not depends on the use of the item, i.e. the aircraft it is used on and the end user of the aircraft.

When working with a U.S. based company, be sure they are complying with U.S. export regulations. Even as a company located outside the U.S., you can incur penalties if your U.S. based trading partner does not comply with these regulations. At the very least, you can be excluded from participating in transactions involving U.S. exports.

Export licenses are not difficult to obtain, and it is not the intention nor the policy of the U.S. government to restrict trade. Their purpose is to prevent items which can be used for a military purpose from being obtained by unfriendly nations or groups.

Sanders International has experience in obtaining export licenses from both the U.S. State Dept. as well as the Commerce Dept. We are a registered exporter with the State Dept. (No registration is required with the Commerce Dept.)
