The term "U.S. re-export controls" refers to the assessment of whether goods, software, technology, or technical data remain subject to U.S. export control rules when transferred from one non-U.S. country to another. This is especially relevant for international companies when products contain U.S.-origin content, are based on U.S. technology or software, or fall within the scope of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
