Export Information
All Vehicle Export Transactions are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Foreign Trade Regulations (the “FTR”) and the Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”). Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. All Members agree not to export, re-export or permit the reexport of the purchased vehicle to a restricted and/or embargoed country anywhere listed by the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Commerce, or the U.S. Department of Treasury and/or individuals on any denied/debarred party list of the U.S. government. All Members expressly agree to comply with all controls of general applicability under the EAR General Prohibitions found at 15 CFR Part 736.
Under the FTR, a Member that is a U.S. entity and that purchases a vehicle from or through a Copart facility in the United States will be the U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) with respect to the export of that vehicle and will be responsible for ensuring compliance with U.S. export reporting requirements, including the filing of Electronic Export Information (EEI). Copart will not be identified as a party to an export transaction in any EEI filing in such cases and the Member may not file an EEI naming Copart as a responsible party.

ROUTED EXPORT TRANSACTIONS
If a Member outside the United States purchases a vehicle from or through a Copart facility in the United States for export to a foreign location, the purchase will be a “Routed Export Transaction” under the FTR. In such transactions, the Member will be the Foreign Principal Party in Interest (the “FPPI”), and the Member agrees to authorize a U.S. forwarding agent (the “Authorized Agent”) to file EEI on the Member’s behalf and to facilitate the export of the vehicle. Copart may be identified as the USPPI only in these Routed Export Transactions. The only exception is if the foreign member is physically located in the United States at the time of export. In that case, the foreign member will be the USPPI and cannot be listed on the AES EEI.
The Member recognizes and agrees to assume all export compliance responsibilities including, without limitation, export licensing, record keeping, end-use verification and denied party screening.
All Members accept liability for compliance with all U.S. export laws and regulations applicable to Routed Export Transactions. In the event of an inquiry from the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Customs and Border Protection or another government authority regarding a Vehicle Export Transaction, the Member will clarify that this is a Routed Export Transaction and will provide a copy of its executed POA with the Authorized Agent, the Internal Transaction Number (ITN), date of export and filer name.
