Details

Features a comprehensive treatment of the five most important U.S. government export control and economic sanctions programs
Explains the export control and sanctions rules from the viewpoint of three experienced lawyers who have worked with those rules both inside and outside government
Formerly titled The Export Control and Embargo Handbook

This book is a must for those who deal with United States government export control and economic sanctions regulations. Written as a user's manual rather than an academic or historical treatise, it covers in considerable detail - but in language that is intelligible to non-lawyers as well as lawyers - the Commerce Department's controls on: exports of commercial; 'dual-use' (having both commercial and military utility) and low-level military items; the State Department's controls on higher-level military items; the Treasury Department's approximately thirty different economic sanctions programs; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's controls on nuclear-related commodities; and the Energy Department's restrictions on assistance to foreign nuclear programs.

Given the authors' decades of experience with these regulations, the book not only explains the legal rules but also offers advice - not necessarily reflected in the regulations themselves - about how to interpret the regulations and deal with the regulators.

Egan is a partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP in Washington DC, where he specializes in economic sanctions, export controls, and other national security laws and regulations. Mr. Egan was formerly the Legal Advisor to the US Department of State, the Legal Adviser to the US National Security Council, and Assistant General Counsel for Enforcement

and Intelligence at the US Department of the Treasury. Edward J. Krauland is a partner in the International Regulation & Compliance group of the Washington, D.C. law firm Steptoe & Johnson LLP. His practice spans the range of compliance, counselling, government advocacy, investigations, and defence of enforcement actions involving U.S. export control regimes, U.S. economic sanctions programs, anti-boycott regulation, and anti-money laundering controls. He formerly worked for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and was an active member of the American Bar Association International Law Section. He received an AB degree from Princeton University and a JD degree from the University of Michigan Law School.
