A common misconception. | (c) Scope of "exports" | | Certain actions that you might not regard as an | "export" in other contexts do constitute an export | subject to the EAR. The release of technology to | a foreign national in the United States through | such means as demonstration or oral briefing is | deemed an export. Other examples of exports | under the EAR include the return of foreign | equipment to its country of origin after repair in | the United States, shipments from a U.S. foreign | trade zone, and the electronic transmission of | non-public data that will be received abroad. �730.5, see <http://www.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/ear_data.html>
