How does export control relate to CUI?

• A. Some CUI is subject to export-control laws; treat such information under both CUI and export-control requirements.
• B. CUI has no relation to export-control laws.
• C. Export-control requirements apply to all CUI regardless of classification.
• D. DoD 5200.48 does not consider export-control in CUI handling.

Answer: (D)

Export control and CUI intersect because some CUI is subject to export-control laws. When information is designated as export-controlled (for example under ITAR or EAR), it must be handled according to both the CUI protections and the export-control rules. This means restricting access to authorized individuals, preventing unauthorized foreign disclosure, and ensuring that any sharing or transmission complies with licensing and destination restrictions. DoD 5200.48 acknowledges this relationship and guides how to apply export-control considerations within CUI handling. It isn’t that all CUI is export-controlled, nor that export controls are irrelevant to CUI, and the policy does address export-control requirements.
