- U.S. Affiliate - A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise
in which there is foreign direct investment -- that is, in which
a single foreign person owns or controls, directly or indirectly,
10 percent or more of its voting securities if the enterprise
is incorporated or an equivalent interest if the enterprise is
unincorporated. The affiliate is called a U.S. affiliate to denote
that the affiliate is located in the U.S. (although it is owned
by a foreign person).See: Foreign Person.
- U.S. Munitions List - The USML identifies those items or categories
of items considered to be defense articles and defense services
subject to export control. The USML is similar in coverage to
the International Munitions List (IML), but is more restrictive
in two ways. First, the USML currently contains some dual-use
items that are controlled for national security and foreign policy
reasons (such as space-related or encryption-related equipment).
Second, the USML contains some nuclear-related items. Under Presidential
directive, most dual-use items are to be transferred from the
USML to the Commerce Department's dual- use list. State, with
the concurrence of Defense, designates which articles will be
controlled under the USML. Items on the Munitions List face a
stricter control regime and lack the safeguards to protect commercial
competitiveness that apply to dual-use items.

- Ultimate Beneficial Owner - The UBO of a U.S. affiliate is
that person, proceeding up the affiliate's ownership chain beginning
with and including the foreign parent, that is not owned more
than 50 percent by another person. The UBO consists of only the
ultimate owner, other affiliated persons are excluded. If the
foreign parent is not owned more than 50 percent by another person,
the foreign parent and the UBO are the same. A UBO, unlike a foreign
parent, may be a U.S. person.
- Ultimate Consignee - The ultimate consignee is the person located
abroad who is the true party in interest, receiving the export
for the designated end-use.
