Export Administration Regulations (EAR): United States regulatory laws that govern the export and re-export of most commercial items, including “dual-use” items that can serve both commercial and military or proliferation applications. EAR is administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security under the US Department of Commerce and covers technologies such as computers, software, and certain types of data. Companies must comply with EAR when exporting goods and services that could have implications on national security, foreign policy, and anti-terrorism.
