TMP Checklist

Property Export Control Checklist

License Exception TMP
(Temporary Exports)

This checklist is also available as a pdf file.

This checklist summarizes the requirements for an export license exception for temporary export of items or software. Before shipping or hand-carrying any items or software abroad, you will need to file a certification to document this license exception.

For frequent shipments of hand-carries of Stanford-owned laptops, PDAs, cell phones or digital storage devices, an annual certification is available. For one-time shipments or for shipments or hand-carries of any other items or software, a one-time justification is available.

These forms need to be filed with Stanford's Export Control Officer prior to shipping or hand-carrying the item(s) or software overseas. If you have any questions about this, please contact Steve Eisner, Export Control Officer, at 724-7072 or steve.eisner@stanford.edu).

2. If the item or software is currently overseas, is it being retransferred to another country or to a new overseas custodian?

3. Is the item or software to return to the US within 12 months or either consumed or destroyed abroad?

4. Is the item or software for temporary shipment, retransfer or hand-carry to any country OTHER THAN Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea or Sudan?

5. Will the item or software to be shipped, retransferred or hand-carried be used ONLY either a) as a "tool of the trade" to conduct Stanford University business, or b) for exhibition or demonstration, or c) for inspection, testing, calibration or repair?

6. If for inspection, testing, calibration or repair, will the item or software be shipped, retransferred or hand-carried to any country OTHER THAN:
Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Cambodia, China, Georgia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Libya, Macau, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan or Vietnam?

7. Will the item or software remain under the "effective control" of Stanford personnel while the property is abroad?
Note: "Effective Control" is defined as retaining physical possession of an item or maintaining it in a secure environment such as a hotel safe or a locked or guarded facility.

8. Is the encryption code incorporated in the item or on the software media limited to that available through retail purchase (phone order, mail, internet, or over-the-counter transactions)?

If the answers to ALL of these questions are "Yes," and your equipment, components or software are not designed for use in/with/by satellites or spacecraft or otherwise regulated as a defense article (see Stanford's Export Control Decision Tree), then your shipment, retransfer or hand-carry is eligible for shipment under License Exception TMP. If not, please consult the Stanford Decision Tree to determine whether this transaction is eligible for an NLR (No License Required) classification, or contact Steve Eisner, University Export Control Officer, at 724-7072 or steve.eisner@stanford.edu for guidance.
