OIRA Begins Review of BIS Rule on Hong Kong

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs began a review of a final rule from the Bureau of Industry and Security to remove Hong Kong as a “separate destination” under the Export Administration Regulations. OIRA received the rule Nov. 6. BIS announced in June that it suspended license applications for shipments to Hong Kong (see 2006300050) to further align Hong Kong export regulations with mainland China.
