I began my day by reviewing a presentation on export controls. The presentation, entailed the export process, compliance requirements as well as some basic definitions.
Next, I reviewed a letter from the Department of Commerce on updates it is making to exports to China.
To summarize this letter, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), is issuing a final rule that expands its highly restrictive controls on the export and reexports of US-origin and certain foreign-produced commodities, software, and technologies to Russia and Belarus, further choking off access to inputs and products needed to sustain their military capabilities. (commerce.gov).
I then sat in on an official board meeting (photo above).
