In such case, the exporter is required to investigate and clear the red flags before proceeding. BIS provides a list of Red Flag indicators.
News and Alerts
VENEZUELA
On November 2014, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a final rule amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to impose license requirements on the export, re-export, or transfer (in-country) of certain items to or within Venezuela when intended for a "military end use" or "military end user."
RUSSIA, CRIMEA, AND OCCUPIED REGIONS OF UKRAINE**
Please contact the Office of Trade Compliance prior to engaging in any type of export (including temporary export such as travels with equipment) with Russia, Crimea and the occupied regions of Ukraine.**
“As part of a series of sanctions announced by the United States, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced that it is expanding its export restrictions on items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) in response to Russia’s continued actions in southern and eastern Ukraine.
Effective immediately, BIS will deny pending applications for licenses to export or re-export any high technology item subject to the EAR to Russia or occupied Crimea that contribute to Russia’s military capabilities. In addition, the Department is taking actions to revoke any existing export licenses which meet these conditions. All other pending applications and existing licenses will receive a case-by-case evaluation to determine their contribution to Russia’s military capabilities.
