The Commerce Department is making certain minor changes to the Export Administration Regulations. Today’s Final Rule makes conforming and clarifying changes to the BIS export regulations. These changes include the following:
- Changing the former “Swaziland” in the Commerce Country Chart and replacing it with the country’s new name: “Eswatini.”
- Changing the former “Macedonia” in the Commerce Country Chart and replacing it with the country’s new name: “North Macedonia.”
- Changing the former “Turkey” in the Commerce Country Chart and replacing it with the country’s new name: “Turkiye.”
- Revising the Commerce Country Chart to reflect the removal of certain license requirements for Australia and the United Kingdom (as previously announced).
- Clarifying that Cyprus is no longer a Country Group D:5 country.
- Clarifying that Russia is subject to certain restrictions related to the TMP license exception for clarity (e.g. § 740.9(b)(5)(i-ii) for firearms).
This rule is effective May 30, 2024.
