Marquette University is a subscriber to the Visual Compliance program provided by MSR Inc. The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is authorized to perform Visual Compliance searches and screens.
Exports are governed by three federal agencies and the regulations are complex and often confusing. Visual Compliance gives us the advantage of being able to perform the required reviews efficiently and comprehensively. It greatly enhances our ability to comply with federal requirements and minimizes delays that can negatively impact research programs.
Physical and deemed exports need to be screened. This may also involve screening individuals and entities against the “denied parties” listings, classifying equipment within federal controlled technology categories, and several other types of reviews. This helps us determine whether export licenses are required for both deemed exports and physical shipments.
