Nucsafe LLC of Oak Ridge, TN, makes stationary, mobile, and portable
radiation detection devices that require Helium-3 (He-3). Looking for
additional amounts of He-3, the firm turned to the CS Knoxville office for
assistance. The CS, along with the Market Access and Compliance unit of the
U.S. Commerce Department's International Trade Administration, counseled
Nucsafe on strategies to use when working with Department of Defense and
Department of Energy. As a result, Nucsafe acquired additional He-3 and
fulfilled the contract to the UK valued at $4,000,000.

market counseling, researched export and duty classifications, checked
applicable EU tariff rates, and assisted the company in confirming CE mark
status. As a result, Pugmill made a sale of $160,000 sale to Peru, its first sale
