Where do you go to discuss Export Control?

I am mainly interested in the deemed export as the actual export does not happen.  I paid a legal team to tell me that the originating body will tell you what the actual controls are. That lead no answers for the PO's I have that state Export Controlled.

Now to move on to a material spec where GE B50TF15 S34 states the spec itself is export controlled. 'WARNING- Export Controlled'. 

Does GE need me to have my computer systems looked down to the NIST 800-171 to read the spec? These are the only controls I see for what GE is calling critical technology.  To supply the metal, I need to know what they are looking for in the spec.  I do not supply the part, just the starting metal.

David,

The Export Control marking on the specification is really referring to how you handle, transmit, and store the document.  Requirements include: Only use secure email with domestic servers, no copies provided to non-citizens, no details of the document provided to non-US entities.  Export Controls are not difficult to understand and are written by people that do understand manufacturing very well.    Good resources for how to handle Export Controls are available online:

The BIS.gov website will let you find the specific code that covers the document and the materials that the document cover.

In the case of the GE specification, it clearly states on the front page which CFRs apply.  Search those CFR sections online and you'll be provided direct links to the specific CFR sections.

I do not want to sell metal to GE. I see that their spec is on my stock, but what I find weird that I cannot see this spec itself.

Your website references look good.  What I noticed is they are all GOV. I believe your comments are for when a government document is marked as Export Control, then follow the government controls apply.  How do you know when a non-government PO has the words Export Control, that it is to be locked down to a government security level of controls listed in those .gov web sites?  It is messed up that the PO arrives in a cloud-hosted email server, but I have to have a domestic server that no non-American citizenship employees will be able to administrate on that system.
