U.S. final regulations amending EAR and ITAR regarding Cambodia
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
Export Administration Regulations and International Traffic in Arms Regulations
Final regulations released today for publication in the Federal Register concern the revision of controls for Cambodia under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
- A final rule [PDF 306 KB] issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Commerce Department amends the EAR to apply more restrictive treatment to exports and reexports to, and transfers within, Cambodia of items subject to the EAR. The final rule also updates a country group designation for Cambodia under the EAR to reflect the country’s identification by the U.S. State Department as subject to a U.S. arms embargo.
- A final rule [PDF 247 KB] issued by the State Department amends the ITAR to add Cambodia to the list of countries for which it is the policy of the United States to deny licenses and other approvals for exports and imports of defense articles and defense services. Thus, the United States will deny all licenses and other approvals to export and import defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in Cambodia (except as otherwise provided in the final rule).
