OCR Services, Inc., announces a collaborative effort in presenting a series of seminars about export compliance and enforcement back-to-back with defense trade regulatory requirements and practices.

“Focusing on the ITAR” ensures that knowledge is the spotlight and individuals will acquire a well rounded education of the essential elements of export controls. The presentations provide the USG working experience, insights and expertise of two former Department of State Defense, Trade Controls experts. Each day offers a comprehensive study of ITAR licensing and compliance matters, with day two addressing more complex issues (e.g., eligibility, agreements, voluntary disclosures and commodity jurisdiction). In addition, OCR will provide expertise in the use of automation that will assist your company in better meeting your defense export licensing and compliance needs.
