Is Malaysia among the restricted countries on US list?
I remember some years ago that our Firewall appliances product assembled in Malaysia could not be sold to US government so we started assembly in KY to meet US commerce department requirement. Last week I was told that we cannot ship a 24 port Ethernet switch to South Korea and need US govt permission. But we can ship to EU and AS/NZS. US Compliance engineers today needs to understand international laws, Political Laws, US export law, MTBF, Packaging, RF, EMI/EMC, product safety, Conflict materials rules (extraction of Material from Congo basin), WEEE, RoHs, HS code.Rogue export country list, keeping up to date with the changes in compliance rules every year is a big job. Some companies have only 1 or 2 compliance persons completing all these wonderful jobs. At the end compliance engineers don't get the rewards they really deserve. . lets keep up the good work for the Safety of mankind and our environment. regards Christopher ________________________________ From: Cortland Richmond <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 7:41 AM Subject: Re: Test lab acceptability query Malaysia being a Muslim country, it may be boycotting Israeli products and services. Cooperation with the boycott may be illegal for US firms. See http://www.bis.doc.gov/complianceandenforcement/antiboycottcompliance.htm excerpt: Antiboycott Compliance The Bureau is charged with administering and enforcing the Antiboycott Laws under the Export Administration Act.Those laws discourage, and in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from furthering or supporting the boycott of Israel sponsored by the Arab League, and certain Moslem countries, including complying with certain requests for information designed to verify compliance with the boycott. Compliance with such requests may be prohibited by the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and may be reportable to the Bureau. Of course, no one can make Malaysia accept an Isaeli product or service if they do not want to accept it.
