U.S. export regulatory action in response to military coup in Myanmar
U.S. export regulatory action, military coup
The Bureau of Industry and Security (U.S. Commerce Department) released a final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to apply more restrictive treatment to exports and reexports to, and transfers within, Myanmar (Burma) of items subject to the EAR.
The final rule [PDF 263 KB] (six pages as published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2021) was issued in response to the Burmese military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Myanmar, and is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2021.
The final rule strengthens export controls on Myanmar and enhances the U.S. government’s efforts to determine that items subject to the EAR are not available to Burma’s military and security services.
