Enforcement
Export Enforcement protects and promotes U.S. national security by aggressively investigating violations of export control and antiboycott regulations and by partnering with industry and academia to facilitate compliance with those regulations.
Our mission is singular and essential: we work to keep our country’s most sensitive items out of the world’s most dangerous hands.
