Clear Terms

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

April 17, 2017 |Exports

The Bureau of Industry and Security is updating the designation of the Russian Federal Security Service (aka, the FSB) on the Entity List to conform with an Office of Foreign Assets Control general license issued Feb. 2 allowing certain transactions with the foreign entity related to the importation, distribution or use of certain information technology products in Russia, BIS said (here). The final rule will modify the license requirement column for that entity to clarify that the Entity List’s license requirements don’t apply to items subject to the Export Administration Regulations related to OFAC transactions pursuant to Cyber-related General License 1, as long as the transactions don’t involve exportation, re-exportation or provision of any goods technology, or services to the Crimea region of Ukraine “and do not otherwise violate [Executive Order] 13757.”
