BIS Amends Export Administration Regulations to Clarify Syria Sanctions Authority
The Bureau of Industry and Security today published in the Federal Register a final rule amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to add two cross-references to the General Order Implementing the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Act. This amendment clarifies that provisions of the Syria General Order set forth special controls on exports and reexports to Syria and supersede other provisions in the EAR specific to Syria.
