Export Compliance

Parker-Hannifin Corporation (“Parker”) hardware, technology and services are subject to US and non-US export and/or reexport control. Parker is fully committed to complying with all applicable export regulations, including but not limited to the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) trade and economic sanctions. 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 includes taking steps necessary to prevent unauthorized exports and reexports/transfers to prohibited parties, sanctioned entities, embargoed destinations, 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 the latest legal requirements.

Generally, US export regulations require all US exporters and non-US companies that reexport items subject to US regulations 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 equipment, parts, 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 other destinations with respect to which direct and/or indirect sales are prohibited pursuant to Parker policy, including the Russian Federation and Belarus;

Sale or transfer related to a sanctioned activity including Russia industry sector and OFAC Venezuela sanctions.

Use by, or distribution to, any person or company engaged in prohibited activities including:

  1.  Sensitive or unsafeguarded nuclear activities;
  2. Chemical/biological weapons;

Military applications including:

  1. Military end use/end user activities in Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, China, the Russian Federation, or Venezuela, including activities that support or contribute to the operation, installation, maintenance, repair, overhaul, refurbishing, “development”, or “production”  of military items;
  2. Items subject to the US Munitions List (USML);
  3. Military, space, missile, rocket or satellite related uses or applications;

Sale or transfer of items subject to EU Dual-Use controls or the US Commerce Control List;

Transacting business under any condition contrary to international antiboycott regulations;

Sale or transfer where there are abnormal circumstances in a transaction indicating the export 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 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 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:
