- Civil penalties up to $300,000 per violation or twice the transaction value
- Criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment
- Denial of export privileges
- Reputational damage to your organization
Always consult with qualified professionals before making export control decisions.

If you are uncertain about your item's classification, you may submit a classification request to BIS using the SNAP-R system.
