Dresser Inc

Export Overview

Dresser is committed to complying with all U.S. and local national export control laws and regulations applicable to the exporting of Dresser products, software, and technologies and maintains a robust internal control program to ensure compliance.  The U.S. and other government export regulations are constantly evolving to meet the requirements of the global marketplace and changing political conditions.  Changes to the regulations must be continually interpreted and implemented in order to maintain compliance.

Export Regulations

The Dresser Export Compliance Management Program (EMCP) was established to ensure that exports and re-exports to foreign parties in international activities are consistent and in compliance with U.S. and other applicable local national export control laws and regulations.

Exports/Re-exports
Export controls may regulate the shipment of Dresser products, software, and technology exported or re-exported to parties and places around the world. If exporting or re-exporting Dresser products, it is your responsibility and obligation to ensure compliance in accordance with U.S. export laws and regulations, as well as any local national export laws and regulations that may apply. Dresser recommends consulting legal counsel or the applicable government agencies in your particular country.

Dual Use

Dresser products, software and technology designed for commercial applications may also be diverted to nuclear, military or chemical / biological applications. Certain “dual use” Dresser products, software and technology may require export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and/or local national regulatory agencies controlling the export of dual-use products, software and technology outside of the United States. 

Nuclear

Dresser products and components especially designed or prepared for a nuclear reactor or plant are controlled for export and likely require a license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission or a local national nuclear regulatory agency depending on the country of export and origin of the goods. These controls apply in particular to exports of products and components for use inside the containment area of nuclear power plants.  While certain technical information (technology) related to the production of nuclear material or related to the components and products especially designed or prepared for use with a nuclear reactor may be controlled for export by the U.S. Department of Energy and/or local national nuclear agency.

Military

Dresser products, components and technical information specifically designed, developed, configured, adapted, or modified for a military application and are identified on a government’s Munitions List are controlled for export by the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and/or a local national defense regulatory agency. Export of defense products, components and/or technical information of this type generally requires an export license.

Economic Sanctions

The U.S. maintains economic sanctions against Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. The export, re-export, sale, transfer, supply, or service, directly or indirectly, from the U.S. or by a U.S. person, wherever located, to any of these countries is strictly prohibited without prior authorization by the U.S. government. Furthermore, Dresser policy restricts engaging in any new business with Iran or Sudan until further notice.

Restricted Parties

The U.S. and other governments maintain lists of entities, individuals, and other parties in which Dresser and others may not transact business. For entities listed on the U.S. Government lists visit the “Lists to Check” section of the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security at http://www.bis.doc.gov/ComplianceAndEnforcement/ListsToCheck.htm.

Neither Dresser nor its customers may knowingly transact business with any party who is involved in the design, development, manufacture or production of nuclear, missile, chemical or biological weapons, involving Dresser products, without proper government authorization.

Export Control Classifications

Each business segment maintains product information that may assist in identifying nuclear, military and “dual use” products that require export or re-export licenses for international shipments. To obtain the Export Control Classification Number (ECN) relevant to a particular product, please contact a business segment Global Trade Compliance member through your local sales office.
