Exporting is a privilege, not a right. U. S. Companies must assure that all their exports are conducted legally. Violate U. S. Export regulations and you and you're firm could be fined, banned from future exporting, or even sent to jail. To safeguard your firm from these penalties you should: Properly classify your products with the right Schedule B or Harmonized Tariff Codes as well as determine whether or not your product has an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)
