As a premier research university in the United States, Princeton University supports the free dissemination and open publication of research results.  As a result,  Princeton University research projects qualify for the fundamental research exclusion to export control regulations. Although academic research activities at the University qualify for the fundamental research exclusion and therefore are not subject to export control regulations, there are certain situations in which the export of tangible items, technical and scientific data, or software is either prohibited by law or requires an export license or other government approval.

Please visit the Export Controls section of the website for more details.
