                          INTRODUCTION
In this part, references to the EAR are references
to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C.  This part
implements broad based controls for items and
activities subject to the EAR imposed to
implement U.S. government policies.  Two
categories of controls are included in this part.
                  (a)  Comprehensive controls
This part contains or refers to all the BIS
licensing requirements, licensing policies, and
License Exceptions for countries subject to
general embargoes, currently Cuba  and Iran.
This part is the focal point for all the EAR
requirements for transactions involving these
countries.
(1)  Cuba.  All the items on the Commerce
Control List (CCL) require a license to Cuba.  In
addition, most other items subject to the EAR, but
not included on the CCL, designated by the
Number "EAR99", require a license to Cuba.
Most items requiring a license to these
destinations are subject to a general policy of
denial.  Because these controls extend to virtually
all exports, they do not appear in the Country
Chart in part 738 of the EAR, nor are they
reflected in the Commerce Control List in part
774 of the EAR.
(2)  Iran.  BIS maintains license requirements
and other restrictions on exports and reexports to
Iran.  A comprehensive embargo on transactions
involving this country is administered by the
Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC).
        (b) Sanctions on selected categories of items to
                    specific destinations.
BIS controls the export and reexport of selected
categories of items to Iraq, North Korea, and
Rwanda consistent with United Nations Security
Council Resolutions.
 (c) This part also contains descriptions of
controls maintained by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control in the Treasury Department and by
the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls in the
Department of State.  Comprehensive embargoes
and supplemental controls implemented by BIS
under the EAR usually also involve controls on
items and activities maintained by these agencies.
This part sets forth the allocation of licensing
responsibilities between BIS and these other
agencies.  References to the requirements of other
agencies are informational; for current, complete,
and authoritative requirements, you should
consult the appropriate agency's regulations.
                             746.2
                              CUBA
                   (a)  License requirements
As authorized by section 6 of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA)
and by the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917,
as amended, you will need a license to export or
reexport all items subject to the EAR (see part
734 of the EAR for the scope of items subject to
the EAR) to Cuba, except as follows.
(1)  License Exceptions.  You may export or
reexport without a license if your transaction
meets all the applicable terms and conditions of
any of the following License Exceptions.  To
determine the scope and eligibility requirements,
you will need to turn to the sections or specific
paragraphs of part 740 of the EAR (License
Exceptions).  Read each License Exception
carefully, as the provisions available for
embargoed countries are generally narrow.
          (i)  Temporary exports and reexports (TMP)
by the news media (see 740.9(a)(2)(viii) of the
EAR).
          (ii)  Operation technology and software
(TSU) for legally exported commodities or
software (see 740.13(a) of the EAR).
          (iii)  Sales technology (TSU) (see 740.13(b)
of the EAR).
          (iv)  Software updates (TSU) for legally
exported software (see 740.13(c) of the EAR).
          (v)  Parts (RPL) for one-for-one replacement
in certain legally exported commodities (see
740.10(a) of the EAR).
          (vi)  Baggage (BAG) (see 740.14 of the
EAR).
          (vii)  Governments and international
organizations (GOV) (see 740.11 of the EAR).
          (viii)  Gift parcels and humanitarian
donations (GFT) (see 740.12 of the EAR).
          (ix)  Items in transit (TMP) from Canada
through the U.S. (see 740.9(b)(1)(iv) of the
EAR).
          (x)  Aircraft and vessels (AVS) for certain
aircraft on temporary sojourn (see 740.15(a) of
the EAR).
          (xi)  Permissive reexports of certain spare
parts in foreign-made equipment (see 740.16(h)
of the EAR).
     (xii) Exports of agricultural commodities,
classified as EAR99, under License Exception
Agricultural Commodities (AGR) and certain
reexports of U.S. origin agricultural commodities,
classified as EAR99, under License Exception
AGR (see 740.18 of the EAR).
(2) [RESERVED]
                     (b)  Licensing policy
Items requiring a license are subject to a general
policy of denial, except as follows:
(1) Medicines and Medical Devices.
Applications to export medicines and medical
devices as defined in part 772 of the EAR will
generally be approved, except:
     (i)  To the extent restrictions would be
permitted under section 5(m) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA),
or section 203(b)(2) of the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act;
     (ii)  If there is a reasonable likelihood that the
item to be exported will be used for purposes of
torture or other human rights abuses;
     (iii)  If there is a reasonable likelihood that the
item to be exported will be reexported;
     (iv)  If the item to be exported could be used in
the production of any biotechnological product;
or
     (v)  If it is determined that the United States
government is unable to verify, by on-site
inspection or other means, that the item to be
exported will be used for the purpose for which it
was intended and only for the use and benefit of
the Cuban people, but this exception shall not
apply to donations of medicines for humanitarian
purposes to a nongovernmental organization in
Cuba.
(2)  Telecommunications commodities may be
authorized on a case-by-case basis, provided the
commodities are part of an FCC-approved project
and are necessary to provide efficient and
adequate telecommunications services between
the United States and Cuba.
(3)  Exports from third countries to Cuba of non-
strategic foreign-made products that contain an
insubstantial proportion of U.S.-origin materials,
parts, or components will generally be considered
favorably on a case-by-case basis, provided all of
the following conditions are satisfied:
     (i)  The local law requires, or policy favors,
trade with Cuba;
      (ii)  The U.S.-origin content does not exceed
20 percent of the value of the product to be
exported from the third country.  Requests where
the U.S.-origin parts, components, or materials
represent more than 20 percent by value of the
foreign-made product will generally be denied.
See Supplement No. 2 to part 734 of the EAR for
instructions on how to calculate value; and
     (iii)  You are not a U.S.-owned or -controlled
entity in a third country as defined by OFAC
regulations, 31 CFR part 515, or you are a U.S.-
owned or controlled entity in a third country and
one or more of the following situations applies:
          (A)  You have a contract for the proposed
export that was entered into prior to October 23,
1992.
          (B) Your transaction involves the export of
foreign-produced medicines or medical devices
incorporating U.S. origin parts, components or
materials, in which case the application will be
reviewed according to the provisions of paragraph
(b)(1) of this section.
          (C)  Your transaction is for the export of
foreign-produced telecommunications
commodities incorporating U.S.-origin parts,
components and materials, in which case the
application will be reviewed under the licensing
policy set forth in paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
          (D) Your transaction is for the export of
donated food to individuals or non-governmental
organizations in Cuba and does not qualify as a
humanitarian donation under License Exception
GFT (740.12 of the EAR) or License Exception
AGR (740.18 of the EAR).
(4)  Applications for licenses may be approved,
on a case-by-case basis, for certain exports to
Cuba intended to provide support for the Cuban
people, as follows:
          (i)  Applications for licenses for exports of
certain commodities and software may be
approved to human rights organizations, or to
individuals and non-governmental organizations
that promote independent activity intended to
strengthen civil society in Cuba when such
exports do not give rise to U.S. national security
or counter-terrorism concerns.  Examples of such
commodities include fax machines, copiers,
computers, business/office software, document
scanning equipment, printers, typewriters, and
other office or office communications equip ment.
Applicants may donate or sell the commodities or
software to be exported.  Reexport to other end-
users or end-uses is not authorized.
          (ii) Commodities and software may be
approved for export to U.S. news bureaus in Cuba
whose primary purpose is the gathering and
dissemination of news to the general public.  In
addition to the examples of commodities and
software listed in paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this
section, certain telecommunications equipment
necessary for the operation of news organizations
(e.g., 33M bit/s data signaling rate or less) may be
approved for export to U.S. news bureaus.
     (iii) Exports of agricultural items, which are
outside the scope of agricultural commodities as
defined in part 772 of the EAR, such as
insecticides, pesticides and herbicides, as well as
agricultural commodities not eligible for License
Exception AGR, require a license and will be
reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
(5) Applications for exports of aircraft or vessels
on temporary sojourn to Cuba either to deliver
humanitarian goods or services, or consistent with
the foreign policy interests of the United States,
will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
(c) Cuba has been designated by the Secretary of
State as a country whose government has
repeatedly provided support for acts of
international terrorism. For anti-terrorism
controls, see Supplement 2 to part 742 of the
EAR.
                        (d)  Definitions
For purposes of this section, "U.S. person" means
any person subject to the jurisdiction of the Unit-
ed States, as described in 515.329 of the Cuban
Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR 515.329).
                     (e)  Related controls
OFAC maintains controls on the activities of
persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction, wherever
located, involving transactions with Cuba or any
specially designated Cuban national, as provided
in 31 CFR part 515.  OFAC's Terrorism List
Government Sanctions Regulations in 31 CFR
part 596 prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in a
financial transaction with the government of a
designated state sponsor of international terrorism
without OFAC authorization.  The Department of
State also implements sanctions on countries that
are designated state sponsors of international
terrorism.  Exporters and reexporters should
consult with those agencies for further guidance
on these related controls.
                            746.3
                              IRAQ
Pursuant to United Nations Security
Council(UNSC) Resolutions 1483 and 1546 and
other relevant resolutions, the United Nations
maintains an embargo on the sale or supply to
Iraq of arms and related matriel and their means
of production, except items required by the
Interim Government of Iraq or the Multinational
Force in Iraq to serve the purposes of Resolution
1546.  UNSC Resolutions 707 and 687 require
that Iraq eliminate its nuclear weapons program
and restrict its nuclear activities to the use of
isotopes for medical, industrial or agricultural
purposes.  Such resolutions further mandate that
Iraq eliminate its chemical and biological
weapons programs as well as its ballistic missile
program.  In support of the applicable UNSC
resolutions, certain Iraq specific license
requirements and licensing policies are detailed in
this section. In addition, this section details
restrictions on transfers of items subject to the
EAR within Iraq.  Exporters should be aware that
other provisions of the EAR, including parts 742
and 744, will continue to apply with respect to
exports and reexports to Iraq and transfers within
Iraq.
                    (a) License requirements
(1)  A license is required for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of any item
controlled on the Commerce Control List for NS,
MT, NP, CW, CB, RS, CC, EI, SI, or SL reasons.
See part 742 of the EAR.
(2)  A license is required for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of any item
controlled on the Commerce Control List for UN
reasons.
(3)   A license is required for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of items on
the Commerce Control List controlled for RS
reasons under the following ECCNs:  0B999,
0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997, 1C999
and 6A992.
(4)  A license is required for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of any item
subject to the EAR if, at the time of the export,
reexport or transfer, you know, have reason to
know, or are informed by BIS that the item will
be, or is intended to be, used for a "military
end-use" or by a "military end-user", as defined
in this Section.  This license requirement does not
apply to exports, reexports or transfers of items
for the official use by personnel and agencies of
the U.S. Government or exports, reexports or
transfers to the Interim Government of Iraq or the
Multinational Force in Iraq.  See 740.11(b)(3) of
the EAR for the definition of "agency of the U.S.
Government."  BIS may inform an exporter,
reexporter, or other person, either individually by
specific notice or through amendment to the EAR,
that a license is required for export, reexport or
transfer of items subject to the EAR to specified
end-users, because BIS has determined that there
is an unacceptable risk of diversion to the uses or
users described in this paragraph.  Specific notice
is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export
Administration.  When such notice is provided
orally, it will be followed by a written notice
within two working days signed by the Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Export Administration.
The absence of any such notification does not
excuse the exporter, reexporter or other person
from compliance with the license requirements of
this paragraph.
          (i)  Military end-use. In this section, the
phrase "military end-use" means incorporation
into a military item described on the U.S.
Munitions List (USML) (22 CFR part 121,
International Traffic in Arms Regulations) or the
Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List (WAML)
(as set out on the Wassenaar Arrangement
website at http://www.wassenaar.org); or use,
development, or deployment of military items
described on the USML or the WAML.
          (ii)  Military end-user.  In this section, the
term "military end-user" means any "person"
whose actions or functions are intended to
support "military end-uses" as defined in
paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section and who is not
recognized as a legitimate military organization
by the U.S. Government.
(5) Definitions.  For purposes of exports or
reexports to Iraq or transfers within Iraq,
"ballistic missile" is defined as any missile
capable of a range greater than 150 kilometers.
                      (b) Licensing policy
(1)  License applications for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of items
listed in paragraph (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of this
section for Iraqi civil nuclear or military nuclear
activity, except for use of isotopes for medical,
industrial or agricultural purposes, will be subject
to a policy of denial.
(2)  License applications for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of machine
tools controlled for national security (NS) or
nuclear non-proliferation (NP) reasons, as well as
for any items controlled for crime control (CC) or
United Nations (UN) reasons (including items
controlled under ECCN 0A986) or ECCNs that
end in the number "018", that would make a
material contribution to the production, research,
design, development, support, maintenance or
manufacture of Iraqi weapons of mass
destruction, ballistic missiles or arms and related
matriel will be subject to a general policy of
denial.
(3)  License applications for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of items
listed in paragraph (a)(3) of this section will be
reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if
they would contribute to the building of Iraqi civil
infrastructure.  Applications determined not to
contribute to the building of Iraqi civil
infrastructure will be subject to a general policy
of denial.
(4)  License applications for the export or
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of items
listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section will be
subject to a policy of denial.
                    (c)  License exceptions
You may export or reexport without a license if
your transaction meets all the requirements of any
of the "following License Exceptions: CIV, APP,
TMP, RPL, GOV, GFT, TSU, BAG, AVS, or
ENC. For specific requirements of each of these
License Exceptions, refer to part 740 of the EAR.
             (d) Related State Department Controls
The Department of State, Directorate of Defense
Trade Controls, maintains controls on arms and
military equipment to Iraq under the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120
through 130).
           (e) Transition for Licenses issued by the
             Department of the Treasury's Office of
                     Foreign Assets Control
Prior to July 30, 2004, the Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control
(OFAC) exercised primary licensing jurisdiction
for transactions with Iraq, as provided in 31 CFR
part 575.  This section establishes a validity
period for licenses issued by OFAC for exports or
reexports to Iraq.
(1) Validity period.  Licenses issued by OFAC for
the export or reexport of items that require a
license to Iraq under the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) shall continue to be valid
under the EAR.  For those licenses with specified
expiration dates, such dates will continue to
apply.  Licenses without specified expiration
dates will be valid through July 30, 2005.  The
recordkeeping requirements applicable to exports
and reexports of items pursuant to licenses issued
by OFAC are described in paragraph (e)(3) of this
section.
     Note to paragraph (e)(1).  Persons that have
been authorized by OFAC to export or reexport
items that are subject to the export control
jurisdiction of other agencies must consult with
OFAC and the other relevant agencies with
regard to the expiration date of the authorization
granted by OFAC.
(2) Reexports or transfers.  Items subject to a
license requirement under the EAR for export or
reexport to Iraq as of July 30, 2004 that were
previously exported or reexported to Iraq under a
specific license granted by OFAC:
     (i) May not be transferred within Iraq to a new
end-user without a license from BIS;
     (ii) May be reexported to the United States
without a license;
     (iii) May be reexported to third countries
subject to the license requirements for the
destination, end-use or end-user set forth
elsewhere in the EAR.
(3)  Recordkeeping requirement.  Persons in
receipt of a specific license granted by OFAC
described in paragraph (e)(1) of this section must
maintain a record of those items exported or
reexported to Iraq pursuant to such specific
license and record when the items are consumed
or destroyed in the normal course of their use in
Iraq, reexported to a third country not requiring
further authorization from BIS, or returned to the
United States.  This requirement applies only to
items subject to a license requirement under the
EAR for export to Iraq as of July 30, 2004.  These
records must be maintained in accordance with
recordkeeping requirements set forth in part 762
of the EAR and must include the following
information:
     (i) Date of export or reexport and related details
(including means of transport);
     (ii) Description of items (including ECCN) and
value of items in U.S. Dollars;
     (iii) Description of proposed end-use and
locations in Iraq where items are intended to be
used;
     (iv) Parties other than specific OFAC licensee
who may be given temporary access to the items;
and
          (v) Date of consumption or destruction, if the
items are consumed or destroyed in the normal
course of their use in Iraq, or the date of reexport
to a third country not requiring further
authorization from BIS, or return to the United
States.
         (f) License Requirements for certain transfers
            within Iraq of items subject to the EAR
(1) Licensed items. A license is required for the
transfer within Iraq of any item subject to the
EAR exported or reexported pursuant to a
specific license issued by the Department of the
Treasury or a Department of Commerce specific
license or License Exception.
(2) Other items.
     (i) A license is required for the transfer within
Iraq of any item subject to the EAR, if, at the time
of the transfer, you know, have reason to know, or
are informed by BIS that the item will be used in
the design, development, production or use of
weapons of mass destruction or the means of their
delivery, as set forth in part 744 of the EAR.
     (ii) A license is required for the transfer within
Iraq to designated terrorists or terrorist
organizations, as set forth in 744.12, 744.13, or
744.14 of the EAR.
                             746.4
                          NORTH KOREA

exceptions, set forth in paragraph (c) of this
section, may be available.  Exporters should be
aware that other provisions of the EAR, including
parts 742 and 744, also apply to exports and
reexports to North Korea.

other items that the UN Security Council or the
Sanctions Committee established pursuant to UN
Security Council Resolution 1718 has determined
could contribute to North Korea's nuclear-related,
ballistic missile-related or other weapons of mass
destruction-related programs are also subject to a
general policy of denial.
     (3) Applications to export or reexport items
controlled for NP and MT reasons (except ECCN
7A103 items) are subject to a general policy of
denial.
     (4) Applications to export or reexport

footwear, heating oil, and other items meeting
subsistence needs) intended for the benefit of the
North Korean people; items in support of United
Nations humanitarian efforts; and agricultural
commodities or medical devices items that are
determined by BIS, in consultation with the
interagency license review community, not to be

approval.
     (5) Other items on the CCL.  See 742.19(b) of
the EAR.
                     (c) License Exceptions
You may export or reexport without a license if
your transaction meets all the applicable terms
and conditions of any of the license exception
subsections specified in this paragraph.  To
determine scope and eligibility requirements, you
will need to refer to the sections or specific
paragraphs of part 740 (License Exceptions).
Read each license exception carefully, as the
provisions available for countries subject to
sanctions are generally narrow.
     (1) TMP for items for use by the news media as
set forth in 740.9(a)(2)(viii) of the EAR.
     (2) GOV for items for personal or official use
by personnel and agencies of the U.S.

                               IRAN
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC) administers a
comprehensive trade and investment embargo
against Iran.  This embargo includes prohibitions
on exports and certain reexport transactions
involving Iran, including transactions dealing
with items subject to the EAR. These prohibitions
are set forth in OFAC's Iranian Transactions
Regulations (31 CFR part 560).  In addition, BIS
maintains licensing requirements on exports and
reexports to Iran under the EAR as described in
paragraph (a)(1) of this section or elsewhere in
the EAR (See, e.g.,  742.8   Anti-terrorism:
Iran).
                     (a) License requirements
(1) EAR license requirements.  A license is
required under the EAR to export or reexport to
Iran any item on the CCL containing a CB

1C983, 1C984, 2A994, 2D994, 2E994, 5A980,
5D980, or 5E980.
(2)  BIS authorization.  To avoid duplication,
exporters or reexporters are not required to seek
separate authorization from BIS for an export or
reexport subject both to the EAR and to OFAC's
Iranian Transactions Regulations.  Therefore, if
OFAC authorizes an export or reexport, such
authorization is considered authorization for
purposes of the EAR as well.  Transactions that
are not subject to OFAC regulatory authority may
require BIS authorization.
                      (b)  Licensing Policy
  Applications for licenses for transactions for
humanitarian reasons or for the safety of civil
aviation and safe operation of U.S-origin aircraft
will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Licenses for other purposes generally will be
denied.
                      (c) License Exceptions
  No license exceptions may be used for exports
or reexports to Iran.
                 (d)  EAR Anti-terrorism controls
  The Secretary of State has designated Iran as a
country that has repeatedly provided support for
acts of international terrorism.  Anti-terrorism
license requirements and licensing policy
regarding Iran are set forth in  742.8 of the EAR.
          (e) Prohibition on exporting or reexporting
                EAR items without required OFAC
                         authorization
  No person may export or reexport any item that
is subject to the EAR if such transaction is
prohibited by the Iranian Transactions
Regulations (31 CFR part 560) and not authorized
by OFAC.  The prohibition of this paragraph (e)
applies whether or not the EAR requires a license
for the export or reexport.

to Rwanda of arms and related matriel of all
types and regardless of origin, including weapons

United States by any person.  You will also need
a license for the export, reexport, sale or supply to
Rwanda of such items by any United States
person in any foreign country or other location.
(Reexport controls imposed by this embargo
apply only to reexports by U.S. persons.)  You
will also need a license for the use of any U.S.-
registered aircraft or vessel to supply or transport
to Rwanda any such items.  These requirements
apply to embargoed items, regardless of origin.
