UPDATE - Amendment of Export Regulations for Shipments to China, Russia, & Venezuela

July 7, 2020

On June 8th, an advisory was released announcing that the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) was amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to expand license requirements on certain exports.  The amendment requires a license for the exports, reexports, and transfer of items intended for military use destined for China, Russia, or Venezuela.  It broadens the list of items for which the licensing requirements and review policy apply and expands the definition of “military end use.”

There has been an amendment to the regulation to extend some of the ECCN requirements until September 2020.  

Effective June 29th certain ECCN’s are subject to the new rule while other will be subject to the new rule effective September 27th.

December Spotlight

For December, we are highlighting Jeffrey Bispham on the West Coast!  Jeff has been in the industry for 26 years and remembers using a typewriter to prepare 7512's.  He has always worked in the import/customs brokerage side of logistics.  Jeff was adopted as part of the JAS Family when JAS acquired Tigers back in 2021 where Jeff had long tenure.

In October 2023, the JAS Forwarding (USA) Tacoma Foreign Trade Zone became an active FTZ in the JAS USA Network.  Jeff became the FTZ administrator of that site and has been instrumental in building the compliance for our FTZ site on the West Coast.

Jeff enjoys all sports, although he would tell all that he has become more of a spectator than a player as the years have passed.  Jeff enjoys being outdoors.  But most of all, he enjoys spending time with his family.  That time can often occur at the beach, or a Seattle sporting event (Mariners, Seahawks and Kraken).

Jeff is yet another great example that People Make the Difference!
