Field notes
The workflow is organized around transaction types, with separate checks for destination restrictions, controlled items, catch-all rules, deemed exports, exceptions, and intermediary trade. The site says each result includes the relevant legal provision and excerpt, and that results can be printed or saved as a PDF. Its listed reference topics also include public-comment notices and U.S. re-export controls; the site characterizes the output as a decision aid, not a substitute for the user’s final legal judgment.
