United States export laws, enforced by the U.S.
Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), strictly prohibit
U.S. companies from exporting certain products without documentation regarding
the end user of the product, where the product will be used, and what the
product will be used for. The BIS requires this information so an exporter can
determine if the export is allowable under U.S. law.
Certain BLACOH products require this
documentation before an order can be processed, including products sold within
the United States. The information we ask you to provide will only be used to
perform the following screening:
 |
Ultimate Destination: The U.S. has different laws depending on the
country of destination. We must check the destination to ensure we follow the
requirements for each country. When completing the BIS-711 form, please keep in
mind that the distributor's country cannot be listed as the country of
destination if the item is to be sold in another country. It must be the country
where the end user of the product is located. |
|
End User: The end
user must be checked against several lists published by the United States. There
are Denied Person and Denied Company lists of those that cannot obtain our
products under any circumstances, and those that will require us to obtain an
Export License prior to shipment. |
|
Product Use: Many
products will become a controlled item that require an Export License because of
how the end user will use the product. BLACOH must have the details of how the
product will be used, which is the same application information given to you to
specify the product. Stating on an order that it is a stock purchase is not
sufficient. |
|
License Requirements:
There are several facts regarding your order that could cause it to require an
Export License, including the material of construction of our unit. BLACOH must
have all the information above to insure that we are legally selling and/or
exporting our product. |
Please help us comply with U.S. regulations by accurately completing oducts are
shipped. For this reason, BLACOH requires our customers in both the United
States and abroad to complete Form BIS-711 before we will accept orders
for products made from Hastelloy, Alloy 20 or PTFE. This form must
be filled out completely, signed and dated by both the customer and the ultimate
end user, and the original returned to BLACOH. Imaged or faxed forms will be
accepted, provided all information and signatures are legible.
We regret any inconvenience to our customers. Please be aware
that it is not only BLACOH at risk. You too could face serious penalties for
inadvertently violating these federal regulations restricting controlled
products and materials.

U.S. export regulations require that all domestic and international transactions
be screened against U.S. Government lists of prohibited end users. U.S. export
laws prohibit shipments to certain individuals, organizations, and institutions
listed on U.S. government prohibited lists, including, but not limited to the
U.S. Treasury Department Specially Designated Nationals List and the U.S.
Department of Commerce Entity and Denied Persons List. For detailed information
