All orders placed with The Staplex Company are subject to United States (U.S.) export control laws. Specifically, the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) prohibits dealing with certain denied parties and end-users that may be involved in conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction - chemical, biological, nuclear weapons, or missile technology.


The EAR sets forth General Prohibitions that are applicable to US technology and exports. The General Prohibitions concern export transactions that are prohibited by U.S. law and thus require a US export license. The prohibitions that may concern your sales activities are:

* End-users that are prohibited because they are on the: US Denied Persons List, US Specially Designated Nationals List, Entities List

* Countries under US embargo. Please note that this list of embargoed countries is constantly changing, so you will need to check it on a regular basis

* End-users that may be manufacturing weapons of mass destruction

* Diversions to illegal end-users that are involved in diversions to embargoed countries, parties involved in proliferation or to destinations that require a license.


Therefore, certain orders placed with the Staplex Company may require a US export license. The Staplex Company will not violate or participate in the violation of the US law by selling to these parties.


To comply with the EAR, The Staplex Company needs to ensure that we do not sell to restricted parties through any dealers/distributors and or end-users. To accomplish this, we request that you provide necessary customer and end-user information on all orders, including full name, country, and type of facility so that we may screen the customer and/or end-user name. Failure to comply may cause your order to be delayed or canceled. We appreciate your cooperation in furnishing this information.
