BIS Making Clarifying Amendments to EAR

The Bureau of Industry and Security is issuing a final rule making clarifications to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), including “three clarifications to License Exception Governments, International Organizations, International Inspections under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and the International Space Station,” BIS said. The rule will also add five notes and make other minor clarifications to the strategic trade authorization (STA) license exception. The clarifications don’t change the EAR requirements for the use of license exceptions, “but are intended to assist exporters new to the EAR,” BIS said.
