Compliance with the U.S. export control and trade and economic sanctions regulations

Ubiquiti Inc. is committed to conducting its business with honesty and integrity, and in full compliance with the U.S. export control and trade and economic sanctions regulations. Compliance with these laws is critical to Ubiquiti’s reputation and success.

The U.S. Government administers and enforces certain laws and regulations that cover the sale and shipment of Ubiquiti products to foreign countries. The key laws and regulations are:


  • The Export Administration Regulations, administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (the “BIS”), apply to the sale, shipment and transfer of Ubiquiti goods and technology to foreign companies and foreign persons located both in the United States and abroad.
  • The trade and economic sanctions regulations, administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, restrict trade, investment, and financial transactions with certain countries, organizations, and individuals.

Under the Export Administration Regulations, a government end-user is defined as “any foreign central, regional or local government department, agency, or other entity performing governmental functions; including governmental research institutions, governmental corporations or business units, and international governmental organizations.” However, the term does not include: utilities (including telecommunications companies and Internet service providers); banks and financial institutions; transportation; broadcast or entertainment; educational organizations; civil health and medical organizations; retail or wholesale firms; and manufacturing or industrial entities.


Requests for proposal or quotation, bids, solicitations, awards or contracts with government end-users outside of the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia require a license from the BIS for Ubiquiti products classified as “ENC-Restricted”. Ubiquiti would also like to remind customers that the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and other applicable antibribery or anti-corruption laws prohibit giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. Illegal payments to government officials of any country are strictly prohibited.


Finally, no Ubiquiti products can be exported or sold to any prohibited individuals or entities listed on the relevant U.S. lists of prohibited parties, including but not limited to U.S. Treasury Department’s lists of Specially Designated Nationals and the BIS’s Denied Persons List, Entity List, or Unverified List.
