U.S. Semiconductor Export Controls: What Compliance Teams Need to Know

Understand how recent semiconductor export control changes affect licensing decisions, customer screening, and supply-chain risk.

U.S. semiconductor export controls have evolved rapidly, creating uncertainty for companies across the semiconductor, electronics, and advanced computing supply chains. This webinar provides a practical overview of current U.S. controls on advanced semiconductors, manufacturing equipment, and related technologies, focusing on what has genuinely changed, what remains stable, and where companies face the greatest compliance risk.

Drawing on recent policy developments and enforcement trends, the session highlights key pressure points for licensing, customer due diligence, and supply-chain risk management. Participants will leave with actionable guidance to confidently assess risk, make informed decisions, and strengthen their export compliance approach.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the core elements of current U.S. semiconductor export controls, including controls on advanced chips, manufacturing equipment, and related technologies.

• Distinguish what has materially changed versus what remains stable to reduce unnecessary compliance uncertainty.

• Recognize key licensing and enforcement triggers, including customer due diligence, end-use and end-user concerns, and supply-chain exposure.

• Apply U.S. semiconductor export controls in practice by determining when transactions require licensing, escalation, or prohibition.

• Anticipate likely future pressure points in semiconductor export controls to support proactive compliance planning.
