When does deemed export occur?

1. When goods are shipped internationally

2. When technology or software is released to a foreign national

3. When a supplier exceeds capacity

4. When trade tariffs are enacted

The correct answer is: When technology or software is released to a foreign national

Deemed export refers specifically to the situation where technology, software, or technical data is disclosed to a foreign national, which can be considered as if the goods were being physically exported to another country. This scenario can sometimes occur even without physical transfer, such as when a foreign national is given access to certain information or technologies while they are within the home country. This situation is significant in the context of export controls and regulations, as it is necessary to ensure sensitive technologies do not fall into the hands of entities that could misuse them or for which there are legal restrictions. The focus on the release of information, as opposed to physical shipments, emphasizes the importance of data security and compliance with international trade laws. The other options do not align with the definition of deemed export; they pertain to different concepts such as physical shipping, production capacity, and trade policy, which do not capture the specific nuance of information transfer to foreign nationals that characterized deemed export scenarios.
