Managing Export Authorizations during the ECR Transition Period: How to Maximize Efficiency While Minimizing Risk

Why Should You Attend:

As part of the ongoing effort by the administration to reform the control of exports the administration has transferred, and continues to transfer, many items from the Department of State’s U.S. Munitions List (“USML”) to a newly created Commerce Munitions List (also known as the new “600 Series ECCNs”), which is now part of the Department of Commerce’s Commerce Control List (“CCL”). The goal of the reform will eventually result in the 4 “Singles“:

• single export control licensing agency for dual-use, munitions exports, and Treasury-administered embargoes
• a unified control list,
• a single primary enforcement coordination agency, and
• a single integrated information technology (IT) system

The administration has also given the Department of State overlapping licensing jurisdiction over certain CCL items, added new Congressional notification requirements for sales of certain CCL items, created a new interagency classification review process, a new division inside Commerce to administer the Commerce Munitions List, new license exceptions, new definitions, and other complexities inherent in aligning the USML and CCL for eventual merger into the single control list and license processing by a single agency. However, navigating through the transition, balancing current approvals, classifying their product line can and will be nerve racking.
