BIS Harmonization of Destination Control Statements
/On August 17, 2016 the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule (81 FR 54721-54732) that implements changes recommended in a May 22, 2015 proposed rule (80 FR 29551-29554). The rule revises the destination control statement in Sect 758.6 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The rule harmonizes the EAR statement with the destination control statement required for the export of items subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
The revised destination control statement reads as follows:
"These items are controlled by the U.S. Government and authorized for export only to the country of ultimate destination for use by the ultimate consignee or end user(s) herein identified. They may not be resold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, to any other country or to any person other than the authorized ultimate consignee or end-user(s), either in their original form or after being incorporated into other items, without first obtaining approval from the U.S. government or as otherwise authorized by U.S. law and regulations"
The rule is effective November 15, 2016.
