Export Compliance

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

Rather than requesting specific export information with each standard transaction, we believe it is more efficient to notify you about certain export control restrictions that may apply with this Customer Export Compliance Notice. If your company does not understand or follow the export control restrictions below, please notify us immediately — and do not proceed with the transaction if you believe it may violate applicable restrictions. Note that export laws and sanctions change frequently. Each party in possession or control of Parker products is solely responsible to ensure its actions are conducted in compliance with the latest legal requirements.

Generally, US export regulations require all US exporters and non-US companies that reexport or transfer (in-country) items subject to US restrictions to obtain authorization prior to export or reexport of controlled goods or restricted activities. Many other nations have similar export requirements. The following activities are considered controlled or restricted when Parker hardware, materials, software, or technology are involved:

  • Sale or retransfer to, any individual or entity named on international restricted (denied) party lists.
  • Sale or retransfer to an embargoed/restricted destination, currently: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea regions, or engaging in business with countries subject to the EAR’s “Other Special Controls”, currently: Russia and Belarus.
  • Sale or transfer related to a transaction covered by OFAC’s targeted sanctions program on specific individuals and entities, including but not limited to, Venezuela -Related Sanctions.
  •  Use by, or distribution to, any person or company engaged in prohibited sensitive or unsafeguarded nuclear or chemical and biological weapons end uses.
  •  Certain dual-use or defense articles including:
    • Items subject to EU Dual-Use controls or the US Commerce Control List;
    • Items subject to the US Munitions List (USML);
    • Military end use/end user activities in Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, China, Russia, Nicaragua or Venezuela, including activities that support or contribute to the operation, installation, maintenance, repair, overhaul, refurbishing, “development”, or “production” of military items;
    • Military, space, missile, rocket or satellite related uses or applications.
  • Certain supercomputers, advanced-node ICs, advanced computing items, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment and components, assemblies, and accessories for use in China or Macau or countries subject to US restrictions or entities, wherever located, headquartered in China, Macau, or countries subject to US restrictions.
  • Transacting business or otherwise complying with any condition contrary to US or international antiboycott regulations.
  • Sale or transfer where there are abnormal circumstances in a transaction indicating the export or reexport may be destined for an inappropriate end-use, end-user, or destination (“Red Flag”).

For any of the above cases, you must confirm with the appropriate export control authorities or regulations to determine applicable export requirements, including whether any prohibitions exists or whether prior authorizations (export licenses) are required. 

Concerning other trade restrictions involving Russia, Parker maintains a global policy that prohibits sales to, and procurement of goods from, Russia. We further explicitly ban the use of Russia origin iron and steel raw materials by our global supplier base in accordance with EU and UK regulations. This includes iron and steel products processed in a third country using iron and steel inputs originating in Russia.  

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