Vanderbilt Export Compliance Export Control: Restricted Biological Agents Both the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) have provisions for the control of biological agents. The control level is different depending on which regulations control the material. If you work with any of the following or similar agents and/or you intend to send samples or data abroad or plan to collaborate with foreign colleagues either within the United States or in foreign countries, please contact Vanderbilt Export Compliance (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/exportcompliance/ or email [email protected]). We will help you determine what restrictions apply to the agents in your lab and how to incorporate the export control requirements into your research program. What biological agents are restricted? Below is a list of agents restricted for export by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Be aware that this list is not exhaustive but is limited to biological agents likely to be used at Vanderbilt and have export control restrictions. These listed items are controlled for export regardless of quantity or attenuation, genetic elements or genetically modified organisms for such agents or “toxins”, including small quantities or attenuated strains of select biological agents or “toxins” that are excluded from the lists of select biological agents or “toxins” by APHIS, CDC, or DHHS. NOTE: Genetic elements from any of the below are also controlled. Specifically, any nucleic acid sequences which code for biological toxins, any nucleic acid sequences that are a hazard to human health when transcribed or translated, or any nucleic acid sequence that would make any restricted microorganism above more pathogenic. This also covers microorganisms that have been genetically altered to express the above genetic elements. 1.
