Organize initial information for consulting the export control officer regarding joint research with overseas institutions, technical provision, overseas shipment of samples, equipment, software, and data, acceptance of foreign researchers and international students, technical explanations in online meetings, etc. Do not perform classification determinations or transaction reviews; create confirmation forms and consultation materials.

Judgment criteria
| Judgment item | Points to check | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Provided content | Whether it is technology, goods, data, or software | Organize by type |
| Counterparty | Country, institution, contact person, end user | If unconfirmed, put it on the confirmation form |
| Use | What it will be used for | Record the use confirmation |
| Provision method | Email, meeting, cloud, mail, taking out | Record by method |
| Pre-start conditions | Whether it may proceed before confirmation is complete | Make it a pending task |
Common mistakes and countermeasures
| Mistake | Countermeasure |
|---|---|
| Thinking it is irrelevant if nothing is sent | Include technology provision and cloud sharing in the scope of confirmation |
| Making one's own judgment based only on the country name | Give the counterparty, use, and provided content to the export control officer |
| Explaining detailed technology in an online meeting | Confirm the provided content in advance |
| Not deciding the access scope for international students and visitors | Organize the research content and access permissions before acceptance |

- The provided content, counterparty, use, method, and timing are organized
- RA is not substituting for classification judgment or transaction review
- The work to be held until confirmation is complete is specified
- There is connection with contracts, international collaboration, safety, and information management
