COMPLIANCE WITH GLOBAL TRADE COMPLIANCE LAWS

(REVISED DECEMBER 2024)



Export Controls are laws and regulations are enacted by nations to prevent unauthorized transfers that may undermine the national security, foreign policy or impact their obligations and commitments to international non-proliferation regimes and within and among the international defense community. The Company is subject to such controls in all jurisdictions where it operates, to include national unilateral controls, “catch-all” controls for unlisted items, and application of extraterritorial controls on certain reexports particularly those of the United States.

Legal Department, Global Trade Compliance is responsible for issuing the policy and supporting procedures.
Business units Leadership and GMs are responsible to ensure all Curtiss-Wright employees are familiar with and abide by this Policy.
Internal Audit is responsible for deploying annual compliance risk assessment which integrates Trade Compliance and provides Business Units a tool to document their internal control plans for mitigating risk.

Internal Control Plans are used to reduce broad risk areas and provide a mechanism for mitigating unique business risks. All business unit operations are reviewed to adequately protect the commodities,technology and services they provide to prevent unauthorized access/transfer through:

  1. Leader/Employee Participation
  2. Jurisdiction and Classification
  3. Destination Control Statements and Document Marking
  4. Restricted Party Screening
  5. End Use Information Collection
  6. Commodity Exports
  7. Technology Exports
  8. Import Compliance
  9. Anti-boycott Reporting
  10. Brokering of Military Items
