[652.225-71 SECTION 8(A) OF THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION ACT OF 1979, AS

(a) Section 8(a) of the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as
    amended (50 U.S.C. 2407(a)), prohibits compliance by U.S. persons
    with any boycott fostered by a foreign country against a country
    which is friendly to the United States and which is not itself the
    object of any form of boycott pursuant to United States law or
    regulation. The Boycott of Israel by Arab League countries is such a
    boycott, and therefore, the following actions, if taken with intent
    to comply with, further, or support the Arab League Boycott of
    Israel, are prohibited activities under the Export Administration
    Act:

    1.  Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to do business
        with or in Israel, with any Israeli business concern, or with
        any national or resident of Israel, or with any other person,
        pursuant to an agreement of, or a request from or on behalf of a
        boycotting country;

    2.  Refusing, or requiring any U.S. person to refuse to employ or
        otherwise discriminating against any person on the basis of
        race, religion, sex, or national origin of that person or of any
        owner, officer, director, or employee of such person;

    3.  Furnishing information with respect to the race, religion, or
        national origin of any U.S. person or of any owner, officer,
        director, or employee of such U.S. person;

    4.  Furnishing information about whether any person has, has had, or
        proposes to have any business relationship (including a
        relationship by way of sale, purchase, legal or commercial
        representation, shipping or other transport, insurance,
        investment, or supply) with or in the State of Israel, with any
        business concern organized under the laws of the State of
        Israel, with any Israeli national or resident, or with any
        person which is known or believed to be restricted from having
        any business relationship with or in Israel;

    5.  Furnishing information about whether any person is a member of,
        has made contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or
        involved in the activities of any charitable or fraternal
        organization which supports the State of Israel; and,

    6.  Paying, honoring, confirming, or otherwise implementing a letter
        of credit which contains any condition or requirement against
        doing business with the State of Israel.

(b) Under Section 8(a), the following types of activities are not
    forbidden "compliance with the boycott," and are therefore exempted
    from Section 8(a)\'s prohibitions listed in paragraphs (a)(1)-(6)
    above:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(1) Complying or agreeing to comply with requirements:

    i.  Prohibiting the import of goods or services from Israel or goods

        Israel, or by a route other than that prescribed by the
        boycotting country or the recipient of the shipment;

    requirements with respect to the country of origin, the name of the
    carrier and route of shipment, the name of the supplier of the

    no information knowingly furnished or conveyed in response to such
    requirements may be stated in negative, blacklisting, or similar
    exclusionary terms, other than with respect to carriers or route of
    shipments as may be permitted by such regulations in order to comply
    with precautionary requirements protecting against war risks and
    confiscation;

(3) Complying or agreeing to comply in the normal course of business
    with the unilateral and specific selection by a boycotting country,

(6) Compliance by a U.S. person resident in a foreign country or
    agreement by such person to comply with the laws of that country

    into such country of trademarked, trade named, or similarly
    specifically identifiable products, or components of products for
    his or her own use, including the performance of contractual
    services within that country, as may be defined by such regulations.

    or the selection official. The purpose of the ombudsman is to
    facilitate the communication of concerns, issues, disagreements, and
