Omni R&D LLC · Compliance Policy
Omni R&D supplies high-temperature furnaces, vacuum and atmosphere systems, and related materials-research equipment. Some of these products are controlled for export by the U.S. Government. If you are an international customer, a reseller, or a forwarder acting for either, read this page before placing an order.
Which regulations apply
Depending on the item and its destination, products sold by Omni R&D may fall under either of two U.S. export control regimes:
An item may require an export license or other U.S. Government authorization before it leaves the United States — and, in many cases, before it is re-exported or transferred from one foreign party to another.
Your responsibilities as a reseller or end user
- Determine whether a license or other authorization is required for your transaction, and obtain it before export.
- Screen every party to the transaction against the U.S. restricted party lists in Section 3.
- Confirm the destination is not embargoed or otherwise restricted (Section 4).
- Confirm the end use is permitted (Section 5).
- Provide end-use documentation when Omni R&D requests it (Section 6).
- Comply with all applicable U.S. export laws and with the laws of the destination country.
Exports and re-exports in violation of U.S. law are strictly prohibited. Violations carry civil and criminal penalties, including monetary fines and denial of export privileges.
Restricted party screening
Omni R&D will not sell or transfer products to any individual, company, or organization appearing on a U.S. denied, debarred, blocked, or sanctioned party list. Screen all parties — purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, and end user — against the following before every transaction:
| List | Maintained by |
|---|---|
| Denied Persons List (DPL) | BIS · Commerce |
| Entity List (Supp. 4 to Pt. 744) | BIS · Commerce |
| Unverified List (UVL) (Supp. 6 to Pt. 744) | BIS · Commerce |
| Military End User (MEU) List (Supp. 7 to Pt. 744) | BIS · Commerce |
| Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List | OFAC · Treasury |
| AECA Debarred Parties | DDTC · State |
| Nonproliferation Sanctions | State |
Embargoed and sanctioned destinations
Comprehensive and targeted export restrictions are set out in EAR Part 746 — Embargoes and Other Special Controls, which currently covers Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Iraq, Russia, Belarus, and the covered regions of Ukraine.
Sanctions programs change frequently and often on short notice. Verify Part 746 and the OFAC sanctions programs at the time of quotation and again before shipment — not once at the start of a project.
Prohibited end uses
EAR Part 744 restricts certain end uses regardless of how an item is classified. The restrictions most relevant to thermal processing and materials equipment cover items destined for:
- Nuclear activity — enrichment, reprocessing, heavy water production, or nuclear explosive devices.
- Development or production of missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles.
- Development or production of chemical or biological weapons.
- Specified military, military-intelligence, and defense end users in listed countries.
If you learn that a product will be used for any of these purposes, do not proceed with the transaction. A license is required, and it may be denied.
End-use documentation we may request
For certain international orders, Omni R&D will ask you to complete Form BIS-711, Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser, as described in 15 CFR 748.11. We may also request a written end-use statement, the identity of the ultimate consignee, and the final installation address.
Questions
Our staff can help you understand how these requirements apply to a specific Omni R&D product. For determinations about your own transaction, contact the responsible agency directly.
