Sanctions have a secondary effect on those doing business with the country in question.<\/p>

If Russia is one place you operate, you\u2019ve likely noticed this in your dealing with civil aircraft sales.<\/p>

The United States is one of the largest exporters of aircrafts, distantly followed by France. Although larger players like Boeing will still take a hit, the negative impact won\u2019t be significant.<\/p>

But what about in your case? And how do you remain compliant with our aviation export laws in the first place?<\/p>

It\u2019s time to explore these questions and much more, so let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Unless you\u2019re living in a steel bunker without access to the news, you\u2019ve probably read or heard about the sanctions on Russia. It\u2019s influenced all industries, but you obviously care about the repercussions for aircraft exports.<\/p>

Viewing it as the entrepreneur you are, a certain question may be floating around in your head.<\/p>

\u201cHow do I mitigate risk to my business and still stay profitable?\u201d Let\u2019s explore this great question.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are two aviation updates that you should care about. Both come from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), a wing of the U.S. Department of Commerce.<\/p>

  1. Wide and stiff controls on aviation-related items destined for Russia (2\/24\/22)<\/li>
  2. Similar controls on Belarus (3\/2\/2022)<\/li><\/ol>

    Contained within this documentation is a new license requirement for specific aircraft or parts. And it\u2019s not exclusive to planes made here.<\/p>

    It also applies to any aircraft \u201cmanufactured in a foreign country that includes more than 25% parts from the United States.\u201d<\/p>

    Exporting an aircraft from the United States starts with filing an Electronic Export Information (EEI). The actual submission is done through the Automated Export System (AES).<\/p>

    This is required in the case of an aviation sale to a foreign buyer where it\u2019s permanently exported. It\u2019s normally filed before the physical plane takes off for its new home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Shifting gears, as related to non-sanctioned nations, are any licenses required to export aircraft from the U.S.?<\/p>

    Generally, they aren\u2019t needed for most civil aircraft which fall under Export Administration Regulations (EAR) or U.S. economic sanctions.<\/p>

    But as mentioned earlier there are a few exceptions:<\/p>
