End-User Certificates
From request to commitment — know what you certify, keep what you promise
A step-by-step method for non-US companies asked to sign a DSP-83, a statement by ultimate consignee and purchaser or a supplier’s own end-use statement — and to live with what they signed.
What this guide settles
- “EUC” is an umbrella term: a DSP-83, a §748.11 statement and a supplier’s form have different parties, bases and weight
- Every statement is a fact, an intention or an undertaking — each needs evidence, a current basis or a workable control
- Never alter a signed §748.11 statement, check the signer’s authority, and prepare the commitments register before you sign
- Three different duties to disclose changes — and a support document is never a safe harbour for what you know
What you get
- The guide: explanations, method, conditions and limits
- Worked examples: DSP-83 routes and signatories, §748.11 statements, supplier statements by use, three disclosure duties, a commented real case (Eleview) and ten pitfalls
- Tools printed in the guide: four templates, including a commitments register, and a readiness check
- Sources with section references and their verification date
- Revisions included for 12 months
Printed tools: T1 · Document identity sheet · T2 · Statement verification grid · T3 · Signature approval record · T4 · Commitments register · Readiness check
