Not every export from the United States technically leaves the country. A deemed export is the transfer of particular software or technology to a foreign national, whether they are within the U.S. or not. Deemed exports that do not fall under the exception of research or public data require a special type of license. This license requires the exporter to give a more highly detailed description of the end user and end uses than the typical export license application. Have questions?

For particular types of exports the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) require a higher level of review for particular "end uses" (i.e., what a shipped product will be used for) and "end users" (i.e., to whom the cargo is being shipped). It can be tricky to identify a particular end use or end user but factors such as the destined country, individual and type of item being exported may be used for general determination of how the export will be regulated.
