Items & Equipment
When taking items abroad (including scientific equipment, laptops, encryption software, cell phones, tablets, flash drives, cameras, and GPS units), verify that the items are not export restricted based on your travel destination(s). When traveling between countries you may be asked to provide an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for each item you take.
