BIS Amends Export Controls to Reflect Missile Control Agreement Changes

The Bureau of Industry and Security is amending the Export Administration Regulations to reflect changes to the international Missile Technology Control Regime agreed to in 2017. The changes affect the following Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) on the Commerce Control List: 1B117, 1B118, 1C111, 1C118, 2B109, 2B120, 2B121, 2B122, 6A107, 7A105, 7A107, 7A116, 9A012, 9A101, 9A115, 9A515 and 9A610. The amendments take effect Aug. 30, though any shipments already loaded, on the dock for loading or already onboard a carrier to a port of export or re-export that now require a license as a result of this rule may still be exported or re-exported without a license until Oct. 1, BIS said.
