Export Controls for Iraq
On July 30, 2004, the Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS) published the following rule, which implements the "reversion to the Department of Commerce from the Department of the Treasury of the licensing responsibility for exports and reexports to Iraq of items subject to the EAR (Export Administration Regulations)":

The rule, which essentially transfers jurisdiction--from OFAC to BIS--over commercial exports to Iraq, is effective as of July 30, 2004. Please note that, as the above implies, exports to Iraq that are NOT subject to the EAR (i.e. EAR99 items), may or may not require a license depending on the circumstances, or, in the case of defense-related articles, may be subject to other U.S. export controls such as the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).
