Export Compliance Notice

Effective Date: April 10, 2025


1. Introduction and Commitment to Compliance

United States Telecommunications Corporation (“USTelco”) is a U.S.-regulated Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) operating under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). USTelco provides carrier-grade, cloud-based SIP trunking, UCaaS/CPaaS platforms, encrypted communications infrastructure, and international voice and SMS intake into the United States.

USTelco’s products, services, and technologies are subject to U.S. export control laws, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce and economic sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Diversion contrary to U.S. law is strictly prohibited.

2. Legal Framework

2.1 Export Administration Regulations (EAR)

USTelco services incorporate encryption (e.g., TLS/SRTP) and are classified as dual-use commercial items under the EAR. Our offerings are typically eligible for export under License Exception ENC or are considered No License Required (NLR) to most destinations.

2.1 Export Administration Regulations (EAR)

USTelco prohibits use of its services in or by:

  • Entities located in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine
  • Persons or entities on the OFAC SDN List, BIS Denied Persons List, or Entity List
  • End-users engaged in prohibited activities (e.g., weapons development, surveillance, or weapons of mass destruction)
