\"OFAC-BIS<\/a>BIS Guidance on License Requirements for the Shipment EAR Items to ISIL<\/p>\n

From BIS (Bureau of\u00a0Industry & Security)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

What are BIS\u2019s licensing requirements for the shipment of items subject to the EAR to ISIL-controlled facilities or territory?<\/p>\n

BIS prohibits the shipment of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) absent a license in conjunction with regulations administered by the Department of the Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control<\/span> (OFAC<\/strong>). OFAC has designated ISIL as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) and the Department of State has designated ISIL as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).<\/p>\n

As part of its efforts against ISIL, the U.S. Government is targeting not only ISIL\u2019s abilities to raise revenue but also its purchase and use of U.S.-origin items.\u00a0 BIS is committed to preventing ISIL from procuring U.S.-origin items, like oilfield equipment, that generate wealth as well as components useful for improvised explosive devices to support terrorist activities.\u00a0 Our goal is to provide industry with information on potential diversion risks to safeguard the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of U.S.-origin items and protect national security.<\/p>\n

ISIL controls facilities located in the areas which it controls and uses the facilities to generate revenue; some of these facilities require U.S.-origin parts and accessories to operate. \u00a0BIS advises persons exporting or reexporting U.S.-origin items to Iraq to review the list\u00a0on a regular basis; it will be updated as necessary.\u00a0 BIS also reminds persons exporting or reexporting U.S.-origin items to Syria of the existing license requirements for all items subject to the EAR, other than food or medicine classified as EAR99.\u00a0 The full text of BIS\u2019s licensing requirements and policy specific to Syria is found here.<\/p>\n

Exporters\/reexporters are advised that sanctions administered by other agencies, including those administered by OFAC, may also impact transactions in the region.\u00a0 Exporters\/reexporters should note that U.S. entities\/persons are generally prohibited from engaging in activities with any entities\/persons who are on the OFAC administered Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.<\/p>\n

BIS also notes that an export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to geographic areas controlled by ISIL carries a “red flag” and suggests that you exercise caution and strong oversight if you opt to engage in an EAR transaction within these areas.<\/p>\n
