This rule imposes a license requirement for exports to these entities of all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations and provides that applications for such licenses will be reviewed under a presumption of denial.

Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a license exception or for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this rule that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, reexport, or transfer on Aug. 24 pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer to or within a foreign destination may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility.
