Export Administration Regulations compliance
Export Administration Regulations compliance is one of the most operationally demanding challenges facing Technology, AI and Competition companies right now, as the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security has expanded Entity List designations and tightened controls on advanced computing chips, AI model weights, and dual-use software exports under the Export Administration Regulations. The U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Export Enforcement and the U.S. Department of Justice have both escalated enforcement coordination, and compliance teams are actively auditing distributor and reseller agreements for re-export clauses that may not survive BIS scrutiny. Cresthaven monitors both agencies continuously so you catch enforcement signals before they become violation letters.
