An export license is a specific grant of authority from the government to a particular exporter to export a specific product. Export licenses are granted on a case-by-case basis for either a single transaction or for a specified period of time. The exporter must apply for the export license. When shipping an international shipment that requires your license, you must also select the license exception symbol that applies to that shipment.
