OEE Mission Statement

“BIS is the principal agency involved in the development, implementation, and enforcement of export controls for commercial technologies and for many military technologies as a result of the President’s Export Control Reform Initiative.  The Export Enforcement Division detects, prevents, investigates, and assists in the sanctioning of illegal exports of such items,”  according to the United States Senate, in its Report to accompany H.R. 2578, dated June 16, 2015.

The Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) protects U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic interests by investigating violations, prosecuting violators of export control laws, interdicting illegal exports, and educating parties to export transactions on how to improve export compliance practices.  OEE Special Agents work with BIS licensing officials and policy staff to deter the export of items which, in the hands of unreliable users, can prove damaging to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
