Sec. 762.1  Scope.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C.
    (a) Transactions subject to this part. The recordkeeping provisions 
of this part apply to the following transactions:
    (1) Transactions involving restrictive trade practices or boycotts 
described in part 760 of the EAR;
    (2) Exports of commodities, software, or technology from the United 
States and any known reexports, transshipment, or diversions of items 
exported from the United States;
    (3) Exports to Canada, if, at any stage in the transaction, it 
appears that a person in a country other than the United States or 
Canada has an interest therein, or that the item involved is to be 
reexported, transshipped, or diverted from Canada to another foreign 
country; or
    (4) Any other transactions subject to the EAR, including, but not 
limited to, the prohibitions against servicing, forwarding and other 
actions for or on behalf of end-users of proliferation concern contained 
in Secs. 734.2(b)(7) and 744.6 of the EAR. This part also applies to all 
negotiations connected with those transactions, except that for export 
control matters a mere preliminary inquiry or offer to do business and 
negative response thereto shall not constitute negotiations, unless the 
inquiry or offer to do business proposes a transaction that a reasonably 
prudent exporter would believe likely to lead to a violation of the EAA, 
the EAR or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder.
    (b) Persons subject to this part. Any person subject to the 
jurisdiction of the United States who, as principal or agent (including 
a forwarding agent), participates in any transaction described in 
paragraph (a) of this section, and any person in the United States or 
abroad who is required to make and maintain records under any provision 
of the EAR, shall keep and maintain all records described in Sec. 762.2 
of this part that are made or obtained by that
