Compliance
Penalties
Violation of export control
laws is a criminal matter. The penalties vary depending on the circumstances
(notably, whether it was a “knowing” or “willful” violation), but the penalties
for even lesser violations can include jail time and/or fines.
Please note that export control violations can also be
assigned to the individual rather than the corporation or university. If you violate export control laws without first getting an export license, there’s a very good chance that you, as an individual,
could face fines
and jail time.
