Reform Is Real: Detailed Analysis of April 16th Final Rule

In one of the most dramatic and complex changes to US export control regulations ever, the Obama Administration recently announced sweeping changes to the ITAR and EAR to implement the first big step in export control reform. The massive rules (view the rules) overhaul ITAR controls on military aircraft, engines, and related items and move a significant portion of items on the US Munitions List to the Commerce Control List in the EAR.

The changes relax export controls but they do not simplify export control rules—the rules are now more complex. Both the USML and the CCL are longer than ever before. The items that move from the USML to the CCL do not move into the well-known No License Required ECCNs such as 9A991. Instead the items move into the new 9x610 ECCNs which require licenses or use of the Strategic Trade Control (STA) license exception.

You will be able to use existing ITAR licenses for a while. In some limited circumstances, you can get combined EAR items and ITAR items on the same license application. And in other cases you may apply for EAR export licenses for items before they move to the EAR.

The new rules contain a lot of good news. Our webinar is just what you need to get a jump start to understanding the new rules. Instead of sorting through massive new regulations, join John Black for his analysis of the details of the key aspects of the new rules. This webinar will provide PowerPoint slides and include live video and commentary from John Black who has been explaining export regulations for 29 years. This webinar will put you way ahead of the curve when it comes to getting a handle on the new rules.
