The GSFC Export and Import Control Program provides the information and controls
necessary to properly export hardware, technical data, and technology to/from
international destinations. All export/import originators are responsible for coordinating
with the Center Export Administrator (CEA), prior to exporting materials to foreign
nationals in the U.S. or abroad, or importing materials from foreign destinations. The
Export Control Office has a web site located at http://lmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/export.

The Center Export Administrator will assist:
- In interpretations of laws, regulations and policies concerning exports/imports.
- Project personnel in complying with agreements between NASA and foreign countries,
obtaining licenses as required, and approvals prior to exporting/importing items.
- Contracting Officers in preparing contract clauses and terms/conditions concerning
exports and imports for contracts, grants, and loan agreements.
- Contractors and grantees in obtaining appropriate export licenses and to comply with
laws, Commerce/State/Treasury Department regulations and NASA policy.
- Countries participating in a NASA project to clear freight through U.S. Customs, to
include working with the country’s broker or agent to clear the shipment through U.S.
Customs.
- With awareness training for Center customers who export or import material to/from
foreign nationals in the U.S. or abroad.
Customer Process:
Development and approval of license applications usually take 90 days to complete.
Shipment originators should fax a copy of the GSFC 20-4, Transfer/Shipping Request,
to the Export Control Office prior to delivering material to the Packaging Section or
Packing/Crating Office. A detailed description of the items to be exported should be
included.
Handcarry of "tools of trade" items usually require no additional paperwork
than the GSFC 20-4.
The Export Control Office will also review any NASA Form 1676, DAA Form, and NASA
Form 1679, Software Release Form, and assist the GSFC International Visitor/Visits
Office.
The Export Control Office will work with the originators and project personnel to ensure
that appropriate jurisdiction (U.S. State Department or U.S. Commerce Department) and
authority are cited and will then approve the export.
Upon approval, material should then be presented to the Packaging Section at Greenbelt
or the Packing/Crating Office at Wallops for shipment and/or handcarry. Arrangements may
also be made for the items to be picked up from the customer's location.
