Export Controls

The U.S. export control laws may restrict the export of goods, software, and technology from the United States. U.S. law also controls shipments by overseas affiliates of Amgen and customers of: (1) U.S.-origin goods, technology, and software; (2) foreign-made products manufactured with controlled U.S.-origin technology or software; and (3) foreign-made products incorporating controlled U.S.-origin components, parts, or raw materials. Violators of these laws may be subject to civil and criminal penalties as well as denial or suspension of export privileges.

Because of the complexity of the U.S. export control laws, Amgen staff members at all Amgen sites should immediately seek the advice of the Law Department before they engage in any activity, or if they are confronted with a situation that they believe may implicate those laws.

Similar export control restrictions apply in countries other than the U.S. Individuals are instructed to the policies in effect at their location to request guidance from their supervisor, the compliance representative with responsibility for their geographic area, the EU Director of Compliance, or the Chief Compliance Officer as appropriate.
