the importance of this rule, companies should continue to work on implementing additional screening and due diligence measures on exporters and suppliers.\u00a0 Keep in mind that restrictions also apply to unlisted parties worldwide and you don\u2019t want to be caught short.\u00a0 Contact us if you want a demo of ECScreening software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USXports Tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The

the ITAR 126.1 list of prohibited destinations, the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) published a rule (90 FR 50489, November 7, 2025) officially making that

will be adjudicated on a case-by-case basis and exemptions that are unavailable for transfers to countries listed in ITAR \u00a7\u2009126.1 are now available for transfers to Cambodia, subject to the

href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/accounts\/USTREAS\/bulletins\/3fad4d0\">issued<\/a> a\u00a0Tri-Seal Advisory: Sanctions and Export Controls Relief for Syria.\u00a0 The advisory provides an overview of what business is currently permissible with Syria as well as what sanctions and other restrictions remain in place.\u00a0 While some sanctions on specific persons and entities remain in place, Syria is no longer subject to comprehensive sanctions.\u00a0 Many civilian items (EAR99) may generally be exported without a license, but most Commerce Control List (CCL) items require a license.\u00a0 The advisory (<a href=\"https:\/\/ofac.treasury.gov\/media\/934736\/download?inline\">pdf<\/a>) contains additional detail on the current restrictions and opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIS suspends 50% Rule, USXports available for tracking, DDTC removes Cambodia from 126.1, Sanctions and Export Controls Relief for
