Official CUSECO Final Examination Assessment Paper
Presented in (PDF)containing 250 + questions that have
99% correct answers that are reinfoirced with detailed
rationales
1. A U.S. company is exporting technical data related to the maintenance of a military radar system to a subsidiary in the UK.

The data is unclassified but is listed on the USML. What is the primary regulatory framework governing this export?


A) EAR


B) ITAR


C) FTSR


D) OFAC


Correct Answer: B) ITAR is the correct choice because the USML is part of the ITAR, and all defense articles and related

technical data listed there fall under its jurisdiction.




2. A U.S. exporter is shipping commercially available laptop computers, not specially designed for military use, to a company in

France for internal business use. What is the first and most critical step the exporter must take to ensure compliance?


A) Apply for an export license from BIS.


B) Check the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list.


C) Determine the correct jurisdiction and classification of the item.


D) File an Automated Export System (AES) record.


Correct Answer: C) Determine the correct jurisdiction and classification of the item. This is the foundational principle of

export compliance; you cannot proceed legally without knowing if an item is subject to the EAR, ITAR, or other regulations and

its specific classification.

3. A U.S. company receives an order from a new customer in a country with known diversion risks. The customer is willing to

pay a significantly higher price than market value and asks for the shipment to be routed through an intermediary in a third

country. This scenario most likely presents a:


A) Standard business opportunity.


B) Red flag indicator of a potential export violation.


C) Requirement for an Encryption License Arrangement.


D) Valid reason to use the "No License Required" (NLR) designation.


Correct Answer: B) Red flag indicator of a potential export violation. Unusual payment terms, requests for circuitous routing,

and dealings with customers in high-risk countries are classic red flags that require further due diligence.




4. An exporter using the Automated Export System (AES) is unsure which code to enter in the "Commodity Classification" field.

What number is generally required for this filing?


A) The Export Control Classification Number (ECCN).


B) The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number.


C) The Schedule B number.


D) The U.S. Munitions List (USML) category.


Correct Answer: C) The Schedule B number. The Schedule B number is the statistical classification code used for reporting

exports in the Automated Export System (AES), as mandated by the Foreign Trade Statistics Regulations (FTSR).




5. A defense contractor is preparing to export classified technical data for a joint military project. Which specific DDTC form is

required for this type of license application?


A) DSP-5


B) DSP-61


C) DSP-73

,3


D) DSP-85


Correct Answer: D) DSP-85 The DSP-85, or "Application/License for Permanent/Temporary Export or Temporary Import of

Classified Defense Articles and Related Classified Technical Data," is the designated form for classified exports.




6. An ITAR-registered company is looking to hire a new Compliance Officer. The company's Empowered Official must be a U.S.

person and a knowledgeable employee. What is a key responsibility of this individual?


A) Filing all Schedule B numbers for shipments.


B) Physically inspecting every item before it is packed.


C) Signing license applications or other requests for approval on behalf of the applicant.


D) Managing the company's U.S. bank accounts for international transactions.


Correct Answer: C) Signing license applications or other requests for approval on behalf of the applicant. The Empowered

Official is defined in ITAR 22 CFR 120.25 and has the specific responsibility to sign and submit license applications and other

requests for approval.




7. A U.S. company is exporting non-military, dual-use goods to a civilian end-user in a country subject to a U.S. arms embargo.

The items are not on the CCL but are listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL). Which regulation applies?


A) EAR


B) ITAR


C) OFAC


D) NRC


Correct Answer: A) EAR The EAR governs dual-use items, which are commercial items that can have military applications.

Even if an item is not on the CCL, it is subject to the EAR and may require a license based on the end-user, end-use, or

destination country.

8. During a routine internal audit, an exporter is unable to locate shipping documents for a transaction that occurred four years

and eleven months ago. Under the EAR, for how long must these records be retained?


A) 2 years


B) 3 years


C) 5 years


D) 10 years


Correct Answer: C) 5 years EAR regulations (15 CFR 762.6) require that records be retained for five years from the date of the

export, reexport, or other termination of the transaction. A document from 4 years and 11 months ago would still be within the

required retention period.

Party in Interest (USPPI). The USPPI is considered the party most responsible for:


A) Hiring the freight forwarder.


B) Proper ACE filing and compliance.


C) Obtaining the import license at the destination.


D) Paying for the freight charges.


Correct Answer: B) Proper ACE filing and compliance. The USPPI, as the person or entity in the U.S. that receives the primary

benefit, monetary or otherwise, from the export, bears the ultimate responsibility for the accuracy of the export information

submitted.
