Export Compliance

Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Parker”) hardware, technology and services are subject to U.S. and non-U.S. export and/or reexport controls. Parker is fully committed to complying with all applicable export regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) trade and economic sanctions. We require our customers, agents, affiliates, and end-users to also comply with U.S. export, reexport, and transfer restrictions, as well as any additional national export rules, to the extent they apply.  This includes taking steps necessary to prevent unauthorized exports, reexports, and transfers to prohibited parties, sanctioned entities, embargoed destinations, for prohibited end uses, or transactions where there are proliferation concerns.

Rather than requesting specific export information with each standard transaction, we believe it is more efficient to notify you with this Customer Export Compliance Letter, posted on Parker.com, regarding certain export control restrictions that may apply. If your company does not follow the export control restrictions below, please notify us immediately. Note that export laws and sanctions change frequently. Each party in control of Parker product is solely responsible to ensure its actions are conducted in accordance with current legal requirements.

Generally, U.S. export regulations require all U.S. exporters and non-U.S. companies that reexport items subject to U.S. regulations to obtain authorization prior to export or reexport of controlled goods or engaging in restricted activities. Many other nations have similar export requirements. The following activities are considered controlled or restricted when Parker equipment, parts, materials, software, or technology are involved with sales or retransfer:

• to any individual or entity named on international restricted (denied) party lists;
• for an embargoed country or region, currently: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea regions of Ukraine, or destinations subject to EAR “Other Special Controls” currently:  the Russian Federation (Russia) and Belarus;
• for a restricted end use or sanctioned activity, including, but not limited to:
  • Russia and Belarusia industry sector and OFAC Venezuela sanctions;
  • Use by, or distribution to, any person or entity engaged in proliferation activities including sensitive or unsafeguarded nuclear activities or chemical/biological weapons;
  • Certain advanced computing semiconductor chips, transactions for supercomputer end-uses, semiconductor manufacturing items, and transactions for semiconductor development and production end uses in the People’s Republic of China (China);
• for a military application including:
  • Military or military intelligence end use or end user activities in Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, China, Russia, or Venezuela, including activities that support or contribute to the operation, installation, maintenance, repair, overhaul, refurbishing, “development,” or “production” of military items;
  • Items subject to the U.S. Munitions List .
  • Certain rocket systems and unmanned aerial vehicles, space or satellite related uses or applications;
• involving items subject to EU Dual-Use controls or the US Commerce Control List;
• under any condition contrary to international antiboycott regulations; and
• where there are abnormal circumstances (“Red Flag” Indicators) in a transaction suggesting the export may be destined for an unauthorized end-use, end-user, or destination.

For any of the above cases, you must confirm with the appropriate export control authorities or regulations to determine export requirements, including prohibitions or the requirement of obtaining authorizations (licenses). 

U.S. exporters and non-U.S. reexporters are responsible for their own export compliance program and screening their customers and other parties to transactions in accordance with the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security “Know Your Customer” guidelines.  For additional information regarding how U.S. export and reexport control regulations apply to parties inside and outside of the United States, please visit:
