A routed EAR transaction is described as which of the following?

• A. Documentation by which the FPPI assumes responsibility for export compliance
• B. A shipment to a foreign end-user
• C. A license exception
• D. A domestic sale

Answer: (A)

In a routed export transaction, the responsibility for export compliance shifts from the U.S. exporter to a foreign principal party in interest (FPPI). The key idea is that the FPPI takes on the export controls obligations, and this is captured through documentation that designates the FPPI as the party responsible for compliance. This arrangement allows the goods to be routed to a foreign destination while the FPPI handles licensing, classification, end-use checks, and related duties. The other choices describe shipments to foreign end-users, a license exception, or a domestic sale, none of which describe the FPPI assuming export‑control responsibility through documentation.
