When you leave the country, everything you take is considered an export, including devices, software, and data, and so travel-related export control regulations can impact what you can take out, where you can go, and what you can do outside of the U.S. In addition, U.S. export controls and sanctions programs may also affect international travel — usually in minor ways, but potentially creating serious obstacles or resulting in unintended violations.
Non-compliance with export control regulations can have serious consequences at an individual and institutional level.
