On-Demand Webinar:

The Impact of New Commerce Restrictions on Firearms and Ammunition Exports

On May 30, 2024, the Biden Administration implemented new rules to greatly restrict firearm and ammunition exports and reexports under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The changes include creation of a new list of high risk countries subject to a presumption of denial for non-government end users, a reduction of the license validity period to one year for all countries, and new classifications for semi-automatic firearms. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has already revoked existing licenses and reduced the ability to use license exceptions thanks to a dizzying array of human rights-related controls and country policies. Firearm and ammunition exporters (and reexporters!) must know and understand these new rules or face possible penalties. We will review the changes in depth and go through practical exercises to see how the new rules may affect your business.

Objectives:

  • Learn the new classifications for semiautomatic firearms.
  • Learn the several different country policies affecting the ability to obtain a license or use a license exception (there are at least six!).
  • Understand the application review process and best practices for preparing a license application.
  • What to do if your license is denied or returned without action under the new rules.
