    (a) Persons located in the United States. Persons located in the 
United States may be asked to produce records that are required to be 
kept by any provision of the EAR, or any license, order, or 
authorization issued thereunder and to make them available for 
inspection and copying by any authorized agent, official, or employee of 
the Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Customs Service, or any 
other agency of the U.S. Government, without any charge or expense to 
such agent, official, or employee. The Office of Export Enforcement and

are authorized to issue subpoenas requiring persons to appear and 
testify, or produce books, records, and other writings. In instances 
where a person does not comply with a subpoena, the Department of 
Commerce may petition a district court to have a subpoena enforced.
    (b) Persons located outside of the United States. Persons located 
outside of the United States that are required to keep records by any 
provision of the EAR or by any license, order, or authorization issued 
thereunder shall produce all records or reproductions of records 
required to be kept, and make them available for inspection and copying 
upon request by an authorized agent, official, or employee of the Bureau 
of Industry and Security, the U.S. Customs Service, or a Foreign Service 
post, or by any other accredited representative of the U.S. Government, 
without any charge or expense to such agent, official or employee.
