The Bureau of Industry and Security has announced that during the ongoing lapse in appropriations for federal government agencies BIS and its interagency partners will prioritize review of export license applications submitted through the SNAP-R system that are urgently required to protect U.S. national security and the safety of life and property (e.g., exports in support of U.S. military operations and those of U.S. allies and partners around the world).
To request expedited processing of an export license application, BIS states, exporters should note that in the “Additional Information” block and include a brief justification for the request. In addition, for both new license submissions and licenses previously submitted, exporters should send an email to EmergencyLicense@bis.doc.gov with a justification for priority processing, noting any nexus to urgent U.S. national security priorities or the safety of life and property.
