What they regulate
BIS administers dual-use export controls under the EAR. Export classification and licensing are not substitutes for CBP customs-broker licenses, FMC OTI authority, SEC registration, or state insurance licenses. Aircraft parts, electronics, and tech desks must clear export rules separately from any BrokerMafia index row.
Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.
How to verify
- BIS home — Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and dual-use export controls.
- bis.gov — BIS hostname present in the .gov zone — prefer live official Commerce/BIS URLs.

Questions this page answers
Does a BIS export license make someone a licensed customs broker?
No. Customs brokers are a CBP license path. BIS export authorizations are a separate Commerce control regime.
Is BIS the same as ITAR/DDTC?
Defense articles under ITAR are primarily a State Department/DDTC path. BIS covers dual-use EAR items. Confirm which regime applies.
Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
