Letter of Assurance |
| A "letter of assurance" is usually required by
the US government agency as a condition of the export
license for "technology controlled for national security
reasons" (restriction NS1). This letter has to be written by
the "consignee" (you) and will be kept on file by an
"applicant" (IP Cores). |
| |
| The letter of assurance is defined in
paragraph (o)(3)(i) of the Supplement 2 of the
Part 748
of the export regulations as a "written letter from the
ultimate consignee assuring that, unless prior authorization
is obtained from BIS, the consignee will not knowingly
reexport the technology to any destination, or export the
direct product of the technology, directly or indirectly, to
a country listed in Country Group D:1 or E:2 (see
Supplement No. 2 to part 740 of the EAR)." |
| |
| Requirements for the Letter of Assurance |
| |
| Although there is no standard form for this
letter, you have to at least: |
| |
- Acknowledge that our core is a subject to the US
export regulations
- Acknowledge your intent to use the core only for
legitimate purposes
- Acknowledge restrictions on resale or re-export of
the core to prohibited parties or destinations
- Acknowledge that the US regulations will survive the
termination of relationship between IP Cores and your
company
|
