U.S. BIS imposes new licensing requirements on exports to Pakistan
Final rule amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce today released a final rule amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by imposing new licensing requirements on certain exports, reexports, and transfers to and within Pakistan.
The rule affects items listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL) that were not previously subject to a license requirement for Pakistan. The items are controlled under specific Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) for regional stability reasons.
The change is being made so that such transactions receive U.S. government review to reduce the risk of diversion to an end use or end user of concern.
