Workshop B — The Next Stage of Bridging U.S. and Canadian Export & Reexport Controls: A Practical Guide to Building and Right-Sizing Your Compliance Program

Jan 26, 2027 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm

As U.S. and Canadian export control requirements continue to evolve, organizations must not only understand where the regimes intersect and diverge, but determine how to translate increasingly complex requirements into a compliance program that reflects their actual operations, resources and risk profile. Designed for both experienced practitioners and professionals newer to the space, this practical workshop will provide a step-by-step examination of the interplay between Canadian and U.S. export and reexport controls while addressing how organizations of different sizes can build sustainable, risk-based compliance programs without unnecessarily complex or costly structures.

  • Understanding classification differences between the EAR, ITAR and Canadian ECL and reconciling differing U.S. and Canadian requirements
  • Leveraging Controlled Goods Program registration, facility security clearances and applicable ITAR exemptions and exceptions
  • Tracking EAR-controlled items across supply chains and product portfolios while navigating evolving U.S. requirements
  • Managing dual and third-country nationals, technology transfers and cross-border self-disclosures under the ECL, ITAR and EAR
  • Building and right-sizing a risk-based compliance program around your organization’s size, resources, transactions, products and markets
  • Prioritizing limited compliance resources while developing the internal skills, capabilities and next generation of export compliance professionals
  • Applying U.S. and Canadian requirements to real-world scenarios and recalibrating controls as regulations, operations and risk profiles change
