Recognizing and Reporting Possible Violation of the Export Administration Regulations

Go to: Location of EE Field Office | Antiboycott Advice Line

Things to look for in export transactions!

If one of the parties to your transaction has a name or address that is similar to an entity on the U.S. Department of Commerce's List of Denied Persons or if the transaction has circumstances similar to one of those listed in the Commerce Department's (BIS's) Red Flag Indicators

You should contact the Bureau of Industry and Security's (BIS) Office of Export Enforcement

If you are asked to participate in a transaction that you believe may be a violation of the Export Administration Regulations you are encouraged to contact one of our Export Enforcement offices immediately, or to use this form to submit a confidential tip.
[Please note that use of the form will not generate any return e-mail to you so that the information you submit will remain confidential.]

If you are being asked to participate in the Arab boycott of Israel, or if you are being asked questions like:

"What are the nationalities of the members of your Board of Directors?"

"Is your firm related to the ABCXYZ company?"

"Will you send us a list of your proposed suppliers?"

Before you respond you are encouraged to call BIS's Antiboycott Compliance Office Advice Line immediately.

Any response you make to these types of questions, regardless of whether the answer is a "yes" or a "no," may be a violation of the U.S. Department of Commerce's antiboycott regulations. You may be required to report the boycott requests you receive. The advice line duty officer will assist you in determining your reporting requirements. Callers to the BIS Advice Line may remain anonymous if they wish.
