Requisitions receive export control review through the Strategic Procurement and Contracts department. Until September 2024, this process occurred via email. To streamline the documentation and expedite export control review, the questionnaire is now part of the Workday Requisition process. All tangible items and software are subject to US Export Control Laws and Regulations, and some carry restrictions that require additional safeguarding and security even when located in the United States. Procurement works closely with Export Control to ensure that no accidental export control violations occur on Brown’s campus. 

This process helps alert Brown end users when items have additional restrictions that would apply if the end user wants to take or ship the item internationally. If you are working with an external vendor or an internal researcher on a requisition, please feel free to use these email templates to describe the information you need. To understand the scope of Brown’s export control program, please check out the Export Control Policy and Program Manual.
