US Department of State Export Licenses are required for shipments to certain foreign countries. This policy applies to any shipments which meet the following criteria:

Any product sold to a foreign country which has dual use (Commercial and/or Military), will require an Export License

The following information will be required from foreign end user and intermediate consignee to process an Export License application:

      • • The following information should be included on your purchase order:

       

        » End user details (please include end user's company name, physical location or street address, phone number and point of contact)

        » Intermediate consignee address, if applicable (Sabtech distributor or representative, physical location or street address, and point of contact)
        • Information to be provided in a separate Letter of Intent (on a company letterhead) prepared by either the end user or intermediate consignee (distributor or representative):
