Certain restrictions, or prohibitions are imposed from time to
time on the exportation of agricultural products; horses; ponies;
cattle; sheep; goats; swine; counterfeit bank notes and coins; endangered
species; controlled drugs; fish; spirits and certain cultural goods
and works of art.
In addition, there are controls on certain
other goods from being exported, or transhipped
without an export license. This often depends on the destination.
Examples of goods
subject to such controls are: arms and
military equipment; high technology industrial goods (computers,
hovercraft, aircraft, spacecraft,
strategic metals and minerals, chemicals
and petroleum products); atomic energy materials and equipment;
and any goods for use in
nuclear biological and chemical weapons.
Furthermore, US re-export licenses may
be required if the exported goods are
of US origin, or were produced using
US technology.
