If it is determined, after consultation with Stanford's Export Control Officer, that the CCL-listed item does not require an export license but may be shipped under a License Exception or a "No License Required" (NLR) designation, Stanford's Customs Broker/Freight Forwarder, Tigers Global Logistics, can handle these transactions.

Records related to overseas shipments must be stored both locally and centrally on campus. The PI, the Project Manager, or another person to whom this responsibility is delegated submits the appropriate electronic export control form to the Dean of Research describing certain relevant details of the export, including but not limited to the item, the item's destination, and the purpose of the shipment or hand carry. As required by law, all original shipping documents (Pro Forma or Commercial Invoices, Air Waybills, Bills of Lading, and other freight forwarding/logistics paperwork) must be kept locally for a minimum of 5 years from the date of export.
