Oversight of Third Party Logistics Providers: The Missing Ingredient of Export Control Reform

Abstract

Third party logistics providers (3PLs) constitute an important yet poorly regulated space in the US and global economy, which provide a means through which illicit actors route export restricted goods to prohibited end users. Authorities currently do not have a full quantitative understanding of the problems posed by 3PLs. This problem can be fixed by 1.) increased resourcing of already existing oversight agencies, initiatives and programs (OAIPs) with the requirement to increase focus on 3PLs; 2.) the establishment of a National Intelligence Mission Manager for Technology Security under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence; and 3.) the establishment of a new suspicious activity reporting (SAR) regime aimed solely at 3PL firms.
