Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations; Elimination of the Certification Requirements for General License GLR

요약

The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), by eliminating the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) certification requirements for exports and reexports of replacement parts and equipment under General License GLR to Country Groups Q, T, V, W, and Y. These reporting requirements were originally imposed as a tracking system to help determine how well the replacement provisions of General License GLR were working. BXA has determined that placing the symbol GLR on the SED is in itself a certification that the conditions of the general license are understood and that the exporter will comply with the terms of the general license. However, the removal of the certification requirement does not relieve the exporter of any recordkeeping obligations or other export clearance provisions contained in the EAR. This rule also eliminates the reporting requirement regarding servicing commodities imported from Country Groups Q, W, or Y and eliminates the reporting requirements regarding certain reexports of one-for-one replacements and replacement equipment.
