Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program – Implementing Asia-Pacific Strategy: Strengthening Strategic Trade Controls

The United States Department of State’s Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program is working to counter the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) proliferation activities, enforce United States and UN Security Council sanctions, build strategic trade control frameworks, educate industry on their compliance obligations, and strengthen the enforcement at key land, maritime, and air ports of entry. This is being accomplished by: 1) developing legal and regulatory frameworks for Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia; 2) working with partner nations in the Asia-Pacific region to ensure the right tools are in place to prevent transfers of proliferation concern; 3) building partner capacity to identify and interdict illicit goods at major ports of entry throughout the region and encouraging regional coordination among maritime law enforcement agencies through hands-on training, exercises, and the provision of equipment; and 4) assisting the governments of Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam to develop national industry outreach programs to strengthen sanctions implementation and industry compliance with strategic trade controls.
