Definitions Australian General Export Licence (AUSGEL) are broad permits that allow multiple exports of specified items to specified destinations, end users, or purposes as stipulated in each AUSGEL. Basic Scientific Research any technology which extends only to the fundamental principles of phenomena or observable facts and is not primarily directed towards a specific practical aim or objective. Brokering when a person acts as an agent or intermediary in arranging the transfer of controlled goods and technology between two places located outside Australia and receives money or noncash benefit, or advances their political, religious or ideological cause. Controlled Technology relating to goods means: (a) Information relating to the design, development, production, manufacture, assembly, operation, repair, testing, maintenance or modification of the goods (including information in the form of blueprints, drawings, photographs, plan, instructions, specifications, algorithm s or documentation); or (b) Software relating to the goods (c) Within the scope of the Defence Strategic goods List (DSGL). Defence Export Controls (DEC) is responsible to the Minister for Defence for regulating the export of defence and dual use goods as part of Australia s system of export controls. Defence Strategic Goods List (DSGL) is a compilation of goods, software and technology that is regulated when exported, supplied, brokered or published. Goods, software and technology listed on the DSGL may not be exported, supplied, brokered or published from Australia unless a licence or permission is granted by the Minister for Defence, or an authorised person, or unless an exemption applies The DSGL is defined into two separate parts: Part 1: lists munitions (or military) items; and Part 2: list a dual-use item, which is items that may be used for commercial purposes, but also have the potential to be used in military systems or within weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. DSGL Technology means a thing that is: Technology, or software, as defined in the Defence and Strategic Goods List; and Within the scope of that list. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is the US regulation for Dual Use goods and services and is additional regulations to be observed concurrently with Australian regulations and trade laws. Export Control Regimes describe the international conventions and regimes relating to export controls that Australia is a party to. They are: Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 5

Publishing placing controlled technology in the public domain by publishing on the internet or otherwise. Supply when a person in Australia provides controlled technology in a non-physical form to another person outside of Australia. Supply includes supply via email or fax, or by providing someone outside of Australia with passwords to access controlled technology stored electronically. Technology: relating to goods means: Specific information relating to the design, development, production, manufacture, assembly, operation, repair, testing, maintenance or modification of the goods (including information in the form of blueprints, drawings, photographs, plans, instructions, specifications, algorithms or documentation) or; Software relating to the goods. Technology and Goods Control Plan (TGCP) is the documented and approved plan for the management of controlled goods, software and technology for specific research projects and includes information security management for the transmission, storage and classification of information. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 6

0BSection 1: IDENTIFICATION, ASSESSMENT and MONITORING This section of the Standard Operating Procedures provides an overview of trade controls which includes; SOP 1 basic information about the Trade Control Laws; basic information about foreign trade controls; obligations of supervisors and researchers; goods and technology that are listed on the Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL); items exempt from export controls; and how to undertake an initial assessment of goods and technologies that may require an approval or permit. 1.1 Trade Controls Trade controls are a system of laws and regulations (See Appendix 1) prohibiting unlicensed export of controlled goods and technology for reasons of national security, foreign policy and economic protection. In Australia, the Customs Act 1901 (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958 Regulation 13E provides the legislative basis for tangible exports and prohibits certain goods and technologies listed in the Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL) from being exported from Australia without a license or permit. The DSGL is described in two parts. Part 1: lists military items; and Part 2, lists dual-use items that may be used for commercial and research purposes, but may also be used in military systems or for WMD https://dsgl.defence.gov.au/pages/search.aspx The Defence Trade Controls Act 2012 provides the legislative requirements for the controls of intangible activities of controlled goods and technologies listed within the DSGL from being transferred to individuals, states or groups of concern for military or weapons of mass destruction (WMD) use. The Act specifically regulates three areas of activities. These are: The intangible supply (transmission by non-physical means) of controlled technology from a person in Australia to a person outside Australia Publishing controlled military technology Brokering controlled goods and technology for Military or a WMD end use. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 7

Controlled goods and technology listed in the DSGL are subjected to assessment under the legislative regime and may require a permit or approval for export, supply, publishing or brokering. SOP 2 1.2 Foreign Trade Controls Australia must comply with any Foreign Trade Control regimes of the United States (US) and Europe Union. US export controls are extra territorial and apply concurrently with Australian Trade controls. All exports of US origin or derived technologies, software or goods will require relevant US authority to enable re-transfer to other recipients. All Australian DSGL controlled technologies entering or transiting through the USA may require the approval of the applicable US governmental department before entry. Foreign trade controls relating to the University sector include: United States: International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) regulates the export, re-export and retransfer of defence articles listed on the United States Munitions List (USML) and conditions regarding embargoed countries or nationals; Export Administrations Regulations (EAR) governs the export, re-export and re-transfer of Dual Use and commercial items listed under the Commerce Control List (CCL). Europe Union: EU Export Control regime is governed by Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 which provides for common EU control rules, a common EU control list and harmonised policies for implementation. The EU regime regulates the export of dual-use items. Dual-use items may not leave EU customs territory without an export authorisation. For all trade related enquiries concerning the US and EU you will need to contact the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer to assist you. SOP 3 1.3 Obligations of the university, supervisors, researcher Trade controls are designed to only capture sensitive goods, software and technology for use in military or weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. If the goods or technology to be exported are not listed on the DSGL then the act does not apply. If the goods and technology are listed on the DSGL, a permit or approval may be required if: the technology is within the scope of the DSGL and; the activity being undertaken is export, supply, brokering and/or publishing and no exemption applies. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 8

The obligations for the university are to: assist researchers in the identification and application of approval or permits for goods, software and technology that fall within the trade control laws through the service of the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer; maintain full records of approval or permits and applicable documentation; conduct audits from time to time to ensure the conditions of the approval or permit are met; and report any non-compliance to DEC The obligations of the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer are: provide trade controls guidance to relevant sections of the University as necessary; Assist researchers and project supervisors on permit applications, obligations and Technology and Goods Control Plans (TGCP) for controlled technology; develop training for researchers on trade controls; act as the QUT delegate for liaising with DEC for all non-technical permit and trade related enquiries; report to the Director of Office of Research Ethics and Integrity any alleged breaches of the permit or approvals issued by the Australian Government under the Trade Controls law. The obligations for the researcher are to: consider how their goods and technology, as listed in the DSGL, are to be used; seek a permit or approval for goods, software and technologies subject to controls; use the controlled technology only as approved or permitted; maintain full records of use for the purposes of audit and review; maintain records of all supply made under a permit for 5 years post completion of the research project; dispose of any controlled goods, software and technology as described or required under the permit conditions; cooperate in any internal or external audit or review process; and exercise due diligence with their collaborators. The obligations of the Chief investigator/principal investigator are to: exercise due diligence to their areas of responsibility for trade controls; review and authorise the Technology and Goods Control Plan for all controlled technologies used within the group for the purposes of research. Penalties are significant for violations of the DTCA 2012 for the university and/or the individual. Penalties may also be applied against the university from all the Acts associated with Trade Controls concurrent with the DTCA 2012. Offences under these Acts carry civil and criminal penalties. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 9

SOP 4 1.4 Exemptions The DSGL does contain some exemptions available in replacement of obtaining an approval or permits. These exemptions are: technology already within the public domain; technology that is basic scientific research' (see definition); the minimum information necessary for patent applications with the exclusion of nuclear technology listed in category 0; Medical equipment specially designed for medical end-use applies to equipment that incorporates an item controlled in the dual use (part 2) of the DSGL; Supply made orally for Part two DSGL technology (phone or in person); and Preparatory for publication part two DSGL technology to a publisher, peer-reviewer, co-author or for expert comment. Brokering to a listed country or wholly within the listed country http://www.defence.gov.au/exportcontrols/faq-supply.asp SOP 5 1.5 Assessment of potential controlled goods and technology using the online DSGL tool The following procedures apply to goods, software and technologies that are potentially controlled under the Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL). Researchers must determine if their goods and technologies: are listed within the DSGL; fall within the control thresholds or have an applicable exemption; and (See SOP 4 and Definitions) are likely to be transferred from Australia by way of export, supply, publication or brokering. 1. Controlled Goods and Technologies Controlled goods and technologies may exist in the following forms: Tangible All physical components or commodities, information in print, on USB or stored on laptops. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 10

Intangible The export of technology which is required for the development, production, use, modification or enhancement of goods listed as controlled in categories 1 to 9 and according to the provisions of Categories 1 to 9 (see definition of controlled technology) This technology remains under control even when applied or applicable to non-controlled goods. 2. Defence Strategic Goods List (DSGL) categories: The DSGL is split into two parts: Part 1: Munitions list: (Military and Non Military Lethal Goods); and Part 2: Dual- use items: items that may be used for commercial purposes, but may also be used in Military systems or weapons of mass destruction and is divided into 10 categories and two lists: Category 0 nuclear materials Category 1 Materials, Chemical, Micro-organisms and Toxins Category 2 Materials processing Category 3 Electronics Category 4 Computers Category 5 Telecommunications and Information Security Category 6 Sensors and Lasers Category 7 Navigation and Avionics Category 8 Marine Category 9 Aerospace and propulsion Sensitive List Very sensitive List Supervisors and researchers who consider that their research, equipment, software or technology falls within the above categories will need to access the online DSGL tool to complete an initial assessment. The online DSGL tool: The online DSGL tool allows users to conduct text based searches of the DSGL to identify if the goods, software or technology are controlled. It has been specifically developed to display details of the relevant controls that exist and other controls that may apply to that particular good. Helpful information when using the online DSGL tool: Review the search tips provided when the Online tool is first displayed; start the search by checking for the highest level of goods, software or technology that is being researched (for example robots, pathogens, UAVs); Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 11

be as specific as possible in the use of search terms; The steps to using the online DSGL tool are illustrated at Appendix 2. Always contact the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer if: the online DSGL tool indicates a positive match for controlled goods, software or technology; after using the DSGL online tool you are still unsure if your research is controlled; to verify and validate a negative match result. The Research Regulatory Compliance Officer will confirm whether an export permit is required and will assist you to complete the DEC permit application. Once the permit is issued by DEC then a Technology and Goods Control Plan (TGCP) must be completed for the research project. (SOP 2.2) The Technology and Goods Control Plan Template can be found at Appendix 3 and hyperlink to TGCP. SOP 6 1.6 Monitoring The Trade Control Compliance Officer will continue to monitor research by means of: Assessing contracts or grants approved On the basis of the conditions of the DEC permit On the basis of information provided in the TGCP If a researcher has been issued with a copy of QUTs AUSGEL permits for use; quarterly reporting of transactions will require submission to the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer. Refer to Record Keeping for Permit Holders in SOP 10, section 2.4. 1BSection 2: Permits and Technology and Goods Control Plans This section of the Standard Operating Procedures provides an overview of: the permit application and approval process; the Technology and Goods Control Plan; data storage and security including international travel; email and records management Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 12

SOP 7 2.1 Permit application and approvals There are various types of exporting permits available for controlled goods. The Research Regulatory Compliance Officer will work with the researcher or project supervisor to obtain the most relevant permit or approval for the research. This may include the following: AUSGELs broad permit to 25 pre-determined countries that are signatories to regimes; Blanket permits 5 year terms, listed End users and Countries for specifically identified DSGL technologies; Specific Permits applied for on a case by case basis, which may include one off shipments or project time specific or multiple shipments to multiple end users. Other permits may be advised by DEC as more suitable at the time of application and after assessment. The Research Regulatory Compliance Officer will update the researcher on the status of any DEC permit applications. For foreign trade control, you may be required to provide evidence of importation approval of DSGL controlled goods and technologies to assist with any re-export permit approval. Permits often have conditions outlined as part of their approval process. This will require strict recordkeeping for the purpose of Audits. The Research Regulatory Compliance Officer will advise the applicant of any conditions associated with their permit and these conditions must be included in the Technology and Goods Control Plan Any reporting requirements under a permit will be conducted and provided by the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer in consultation with the Project Supervisor or Researcher. 2.2 Technology and Goods Control Plan Once DEC has issued an export and/or supply permit a Technology and Goods Control Plan (TGCP) must be completed and submitted to the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer, Office of Research Ethics and Integrity (OREI) (See Appendix 3). The TGCP records arrangements for the security, training, monitoring and disposal of DSGL listed goods, software or technology subject to a DEC permit. A TGCP template and Guide notes can be accessed at (link). The TGCP should be completed with the assistance of the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer. Final approval delegations are with the Deputy Vice Chancellor Research and Commercialisation and work cannot commence until approved. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 13

SOP 8 2.3 Data Storage and Information Security (including international travel) Where the researcher is dealing with controlled goods, software and technologies, storage and security arrangements must be discussed with the Manager, Information Security. The researcher in consultation with the Manager, Information Security will complete an Information Security Plan (ISP) and a copy must be attached in support of the TGCP. An ISP will ensure the following: use of encryption software for the management of all related files, data management plans and email; secure storage of goods and technology with restricted access to those collaborating on the project; access arrangements for goods and technology reflect the listed personnel where appropriate; that permits are in place before leaving the country with controlled technology on laptops, USBs, flash drives or any electronic device; Note: it is prohibited to take controlled goods, software or technology overseas until you have written approval from the university supported by a permit. Without these authorisations your laptop and/or device risks being confiscated at the border (i.e. Airport) and penalties may apply. Email Transmission and IT Security: All Email transactions made under a permit for the supply of controlled technology must be kept electronically for 5 years post project completion. The following statement must be annotated within the email (the email signature is acceptable): "This email contains information that is protected under the Australian Defence Trade Control Act 2012 and is intended for the recipient only. If you have received this email in error, please notify the sender identified in this email immediately. Permit #. applies to this export. All research data and information controlled under a permit is classified as protected under the MoPP F/1.2 Information Security policy. Further information on IT security standards for the storage, transmission and disposal of research data and information classified as protected can be accessed at the following sites: Guidelines for the Information Security Classification and Handling Matrix (Appendix B) and; Information Security Guidelines for Research Data and Information controlled under Trade Control legislation Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 14

SOP 9 2.4 Retention of Research Data, records and controlled information Research Data Research data controlled under a permit must be retained according to the record status and retention timeframes outlined in the Queensland State Archives University Sector Retention and Disposal Schedule QDAN 601v3 Record keeping for Permit-holders Records of activities related to supply and/or brokerage arrangements that a researcher makes under a permit must be retained for a period of 5 years. These records may include: all technical or research documents; Permits, notices or approvals A signed, executed copy of the TCP including any variations or amendments made Any related documents to technology provided by a third party (sponsor) Records of supply transactions including: o Emails to approved offshore destinations that contain DSGL information o Any material transfer agreements applicable o Shipping documentation for offshore transactions, if applicable Information to be contained in the record of supplies made under a permit: 1. A description of the DSGL technology supplies under the permit 2. The unique identifier of the permit under which the permit holder supplied DSGL technology 3. The name of any person to whom the permit holder supplied DSGL technology under the permit 4. For each supply of DSGL technology under the permit: a. The date of the supply; or b. If the permit covers the supply for a period of time the period, or periods, of time during which the permit holder supplied the DSGL technology. Information to be contained in the record of brokerage arrangements made under a permit: 1. A description of the goods or DSGL technology the registered broker arranges to be supplied under the permit 2. The unique identifier of the permit under which the registered broker arranged a supply 3. The name of any person the registered broker arranges to supply goods or DSGL technology, and the place from which the goods or DSGL technology will be supplied 4. The date any arrangement under the permit is made Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 15

5. The name of any person that the registered broker arranges will be supplied goods or DSGL technology under the permit, and the place at which the goods or DSGL technology are to be received by that person. 2BSection 3: Project variations This section of the Standard Operating Procedures provides an overview of: project variations and amendments; internal and external monitoring; and non-compliance and suspicious activity notification SOP 10 3.1 Project variations requiring permit changes A variation to a project using trade controlled goods, software and technologies may include: changes to research staff; changes to the research programme or activity that involve any trade controlled goods, software and technologies (adding or deleting); changes to information security changes to physical security; and any additional overseas travel not identified in the original TCP. amendments to the DSGL or a controlled goods list or legislation The researcher is to complete and submit a TGCP Variation to the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer. The researcher must not conduct any controlled activity as described in the variation until either an existing permit is amended through Defence Export Controls or where required, an additional permit is obtained and provided to the researcher. SOP 11 3.2 Monitoring processes for internal and external purposes The Office of Research Ethics and Integrity (OREI) will periodically monitor/audit any research conducted under a TCP. Internal audits are an integral part of a robust Export Control Management System (ECMS) to detect, correct and prevent potential violations before external audits are conducted. Audits may be conducted from time to time or as required under the permit conditions. The audits will review: Research activity is compliant with permit conditions of approval and/or Records relating to supply activities and/or brokerage arrangements are managed according to the requirement of the Act. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 16

SOP 12 3.3 Notification of non-compliance or suspicious activity request Project supervisors must immediately advise the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer of any suspected breach of approvals or permit conditions. All suspected breaches in Information security must be reported to the QUT Manager, Information Security. Non-compliance can be the following: supplying controlled technology to end users/ countries not authorised on the approval, permit or notice; travelling internationally with controlled technology on an unauthorised electronic device or USB; new researchers collaborating on the project before permit amendment is completed; unauthorised access or usage of controlled goods, software and technology. 3BSection 4: Project closure This section of the Standard Operating Procedures provides an overview of: process for project termination; and permit cessation. SOP 13 4.1 Project/Contract Termination The obligations under an issued permit and approval continue as long as the controlled goods, software and technology remain in the possession of the university, researcher or supervisor. In the event of immediate cessation of employment of the Principal Supervisor nominated on the permit, the role of custodian of the controlled goods, software and technology lies with the Head of School/Director as per university policy. Disposal of controlled goods, software and technologies should be coordinated with the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer. All records including hardcopy emails and project documentation pertaining to the controlled goods, software and technologies allowed under a permit or approval will be retained in accordance with university policy and all applicable legislation. All security requirements in place for the storage or access to the controlled goods, software and technologies will remain in force until eligible for destruction. Should at any stage the security measure in place be compromised, the project supervisor is responsible for notifying the QUT Manager, Information Security officer in the first instance of the breach. Internal Compliance Plan Standard Operating Procedures Trade Controls Page 17

The Director, Office of Research Ethics and Integrity will consider any reported alleged breaches of the permit or approvals issued by the Australian Government under the Trade Controls law. SOP 14 4.2 Permit cessation Once the expiry date, as stated on the permit lapses, all exporting/supply activities must cease under that permit. Should a project be extended, please contact the Research Regulatory Compliance Officer at least 30 working days before permit expiry for submission for renewal with the Defence Export Controls.
