This directive establishes the proper methods completing a Foreign Travel or Shipment Request for capital assets or attractive property. Any property that will be transported outside the United States must receive authorization prior to travel.
It can often take many months to receive an export license, especially if the equipment or country requires extra vetting, so please be sure to submit a Foreign Travel Request as soon as you are aware that an item will need to be taken or shipped outside the United States.
The Foreign Travel Request is required to comply with government regulations and U.S. export laws regarding foreign travel with property. Because U.S. export laws occasionally require an export license to take property to a specific country, UF directive requires that a Foreign Travel Request must be submitted before any UF-owned property can be taken outside of the United States.
All University of Florida departments in possession of UF-owned property must comply with this directive.
