U.S. BIS revises license requirements and export controls for certain camera technologies
The final rule will be effective from March 8, 2024.
Certain camera technologies
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Commerce Department today released a final rule [PDF 311 KB] amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising license requirements for certain cameras, systems, and related components. The revisions aim to better align controls with technological and commercial developments, such as the items’ global commercial availability, while recognizing the cooperative strategic relationship the United States has with its closest allies.
In addition to these changes, BIS is adding controls on certain cameras that are not already controlled by either export control classification number (ECCN) 6A003 or 6A203. These new controls are detailed under new ECCN 6A293, which is a classification for temporary controls for which BIS is seeking multilateral agreement.
The final rule will be effective from March 8, 2024.
