Our compliance posture under U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Export Administration Regulations.
Premier Science LLC is registered with the U.S. Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and operates a documented export-compliance program covering both ITAR (22 CFR 120–130) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR 730–774). All international orders, and any domestic order with a controlled end use or end user, are reviewed before shipment.
Most general-purpose laboratory glassware is classified under EAR as EAR99 and is not export-controlled to common destinations. Pieces designed for, or specifically modified to support, defense or nuclear-related end uses may be USML or controlled under specific ECCNs. The Seller will issue a written classification statement (ECCN or USML category) on request as part of the quote process.
Before accepting an order destined outside the United States, or any order flagged for controlled end use, the Seller screens the consignee, end user, and any intermediate parties against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list, the Bureau of Industry and Security Entity List, and the State Department Debarred List. The Buyer is required to disclose the actual end user and the intended end use; misrepresentation voids the order.
Where an export license is required from BIS, DDTC, or another agency, the Seller will not ship until the license is granted. The Buyer is responsible for any local-country import authorization. The Seller does not act as the U.S. Principal Party in Interest in routed export transactions without a written authorization from the foreign principal party.
Pieces fabricated under government contract, or under a flow-down requiring U.S.-citizen workforce, are produced and inspected exclusively by U.S.-citizen fabricators. Records of personnel who handled the piece are retained with the order file.
The Seller does not accept orders shipping to, or from end users in, countries or regions subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. This list is updated as U.S. sanctions law changes.
An export-classification statement, a certificate of U.S. origin, and a Shipper's Letter of Instructions are available with any international shipment on request. Where the harmonized tariff schedule code is needed for customs declaration, we will provide the working classification.
