About The Export Practitioner

Since 1985, The Export Practitioner has reported on changes to U.S. export licensing rules, enforcement actions and export regulations for defense and dual-use products and technology. Four decades of continuous coverage means our archive doubles as a working history of how U.S. export control laws and regulations have actually been enforced, not just written.

A subscription gives you direct access to export compliance actions and decisions at:

  • Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
  • Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
  • Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
  • Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • U.S. Department of Justice
  • Census Bureau
  • U.S. Export-Import Bank

What Each Issue Covers

Every issue tracks new rules and requirements under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the core U.S. export regulations governing dual-use goods and technology, along with:

  • International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
  • U.S. sanctions (OFAC)
  • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
  • Automated Export System (AES) filing rules

The Export Practitioner also runs guest articles and interviews from named experts in export law and compliance policy.

Our Editorial Standards

Our stories are built from primary sources: agency dockets, enforcement records, and rule text, with named quotes from practitioners and former regulators, where relevant. This standard has held since our first issue in 1985, and it's why readers use The Export Practitioner as export compliance information they can act on, not just read.

A Note from the Editor

If there's something you'd like to see covered, send suggestions to fruffing@traderegs.com.

As supply chain compliance, export controls, tariff policy, and sanctions increasingly converge, the need for unified coverage has become compelling.

The Export Practitioner delivers in-depth analysis of the legal requirements, practical implications, and critical nuances of sanctions and export controls. The WTTL complements that coverage with a concise weekly update on the political and trade policy developments shaping the global compliance environment.

Subscribers may add the WTTL as an enhancement to their existing subscription. To learn more, contact info@exportprac.com.
