What Every Exporting Company Needs to Know in Light of New Export Control Reforms

Export regulations have changed, and will continue to change. Are you up to date? Do you know what your company needs to do to be compliant? Does your product require an export license? How do you know? Where can you check? The regulations have changed, do you know which government agencies oversee export controls?
