WELCOME

Welcome to the ExportControl.org web site sponsored by the Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance program. This site is dedicated as a resource for Export Control information.

The Export Control and Related Border Security Assistance (EXBS) program is the United States Government's premier initiative to help other countries improve their export control systems. The EXBS program is a U.S. Government interagency program, managed by the Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, designed to help prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their missile delivery systems, conventional weapons, and related items by assisting foreign governments to establish and implement effective export control systems that meet international standards.
