Visual Compliance

Florida Atlantic University uses a web-based service called Visual Compliance to assess whether a particular university-supported activity will be affected by export control regulations. Through the use of Visual Compliance's screening tools, members of FAU's community are able to perform screenings that are useful for a variety of compliance functions, some of which include:

  • Technology classifications on the Department of State's ITAR-U.S. Munitions List
  • Technology classifications on the Department of Commerce's EAR-Commerce Control List
  • Restricted Party Screenings (RPS)
  • License determinations, exemptions, and exceptions
  • Country specific export control regulation assessments

All members of FAU's community have the ability to register with and use the platform's screening tools. Visual Compliance offers training on how to properly utilize its product, however you may contact FAU's Export Control Officer if additional assistance is required.
