Last Updated: September 21, 2026
Specialty Coatings Inc. (“SCI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to complying with applicable United States export control, economic sanctions, and trade regulations.
Products, technical information, documentation, and other items offered through specialtycoatingsinc.com may be subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations depending on the product, classification, destination, end user, end use, and other circumstances.
U.S. Export Control Requirements
The export, re-export, transfer, or other disposition of products purchased from Specialty Coatings Inc. must comply with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including, where applicable:
- The U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
- The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), administered by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
- Regulations and sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
- Other applicable U.S. export control, sanctions, and trade laws and regulations
Not every product is subject to the same export controls. The applicable requirements depend on the specific transaction and circumstances.
Export Licenses and Authorizations
Certain transactions may require an export license, license exception, exemption, authorization, declaration, or other governmental approval before the product or controlled information may be exported, re-exported, transferred, or otherwise provided to a foreign person or foreign destination.
Where applicable, SCI may require additional information before accepting or fulfilling an order, including information regarding:
- The ultimate destination
- The ultimate end user
- The intended end use
- The purchaser and other parties to the transaction
- The product or technical information involved
- Applicable export classification or authorization
- Other information necessary to evaluate export-control requirements
An order may be placed on hold while SCI reviews applicable export-control requirements.
Foreign Persons and Controlled Information
Certain products, technical data, specifications, drawings, test data, or other information may be subject to additional U.S. export-control requirements.
Where ITAR or other export-controlled technical information is involved, disclosure, transfer, or access by a foreign person may require prior authorization or an applicable exemption.
Customers are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any authorization required for their intended receipt, use, transfer, export, re-export, or other disposition of products or controlled information.
Restricted Parties and Destinations
SCI may refuse, cancel, or place a transaction on hold when necessary to comply with applicable U.S. export controls, sanctions, restricted-party requirements, or other legal obligations.
Customers may not purchase or use SCI products for an unauthorized export, re-export, transfer, or end use.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that their transactions do not involve prohibited parties, destinations, or end uses.
The U.S. Government maintains multiple screening lists that may apply to export and trade transactions. The U.S. Department of Commerce's Consolidated Screening List combines certain restricted-party lists maintained by the Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury.
OFAC separately administers sanctions programs and maintains sanctions lists that may restrict transactions involving certain countries, individuals, entities, or other parties.
Customer Responsibility
The customer is responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable export-control and sanctions requirements associated with the customer's purchase, possession, use, transfer, export, re-export, or disposition of SCI products.
By placing an order, the customer represents that:
- The transaction will comply with applicable U.S. laws and regulations.
- The products will not be exported, re-exported, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in violation of applicable law.
- The products will not knowingly be provided to a prohibited or restricted party in violation of applicable law.
- The products will not knowingly be used for a prohibited end use.
- The customer will obtain any required licenses, authorizations, exemptions, or other governmental approvals before conducting a controlled transaction.
SCI may request additional information or documentation to evaluate an order for export-control compliance.
International Orders
International orders may be subject to additional review, documentation, shipping restrictions, customs requirements, taxes, duties, fees, and governmental requirements.
Acceptance of an international order does not constitute a determination by SCI that the transaction is authorized for export.
SCI reserves the right to cancel or decline an international transaction when the required authorization cannot be confirmed or when SCI determines that fulfillment may violate applicable law or create unacceptable compliance risk.
Re-Export and Transfer
Customers who receive SCI products outside the United States are responsible for complying with applicable U.S. re-export and transfer requirements, as well as applicable laws of the destination country.
A customer may not use an SCI purchase as a means of circumventing U.S. export controls or economic sanctions.
Export-Controlled Technical Information
Customers must not request or attempt to obtain export-controlled technical data, drawings, specifications, test information, or other controlled information from SCI unless the customer has the appropriate authorization to receive such information.
SCI may limit or decline requests for technical information when required by applicable export-control laws or regulations.
Government Resources
Customers may consult the following U.S. Government agencies for official information regarding export controls and sanctions:
U.S. Department of Commerce
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
Bureau of Industry and Security
U.S. Department of State
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
