Course Summary

Ethena’s U.S. Export Controls and Sanctions training course offers learners a baseline understanding of American export control laws and sanctions. With real-world examples of litigation and scenarios designed to resonate with a learner’s actual workflow, the course makes it clear that the average employee might be closer to a violation than they even realize.

The course covers key regulations including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) — plus how those laws impact your team’s day-to-day.

Included Modules:

Introduction

A level set on the importance of training on trade controls (export controls and sanctions) even when the product you work on isn’t something you physically ship.

The EAR, ITAR, and Export Controls

A rundown of the major regulators and enforcers of US export controls (i.e. BIS’s EAR and DDTC’s ITAR), how these regulations work, and where they apply.

OFAC and Sanctions

An outline of OFAC sanctions (both comprehensive and list-based) and licenses.

Why is this training important?

U.S. export controls and sanctions decide what your company can ship, share, and sell, and to whom. Getting it wrong can mean blocked transactions, lost licenses, steep fines, and even criminal liability, and a single misrouted shipment or restricted-party deal can put the whole business at risk. When employees know how to screen customers, classify products, and spot warning signs before a deal moves forward, they keep the company on the right side of the law and protect its ability to do business globally. This training gives your teams the practical know-how to recognize when a transaction needs a closer look and who to ask.
