The United States controls certain dual-use technologies that could be used to enhance the military capabilities of countries of concern. The Department of Commerce (Commerce) conducts post-shipment verification (PSV) checks to ensure that these technologies arrive at their intended destination and are used for the purposes stated in the export license. GAO was asked to (1) assess the number of dual-use export licenses approved and subject to postshipment verification and (2) evaluate how the PSV process ensures that sensitive exports are used as intended. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-357/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-357.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-357/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-357.pdf GAO-04-357 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-357 Other Written Product GAO-04-357; Export Controls: Post-Shipment Verification Provides Limited Assurance That Dual-Use Items Are Being Properly Used; Dual-use technologies Export regulation Technology transfer Licenses Foreign military arms sales Title 18 Section 3571 18 U.S.C. 3571 Title 28 Section 2461 28 U.S.C. 2461 Title 50 Section 1705 Title 50 Appendix 2410 50 U.S.C. 1705 50 U.S.C.
