Ministry of Commerce Intends to Revise the Export Prohibition and Restriction Technology Catalogue

On December 30, 2022, Ministry of Commerce published the Notice of Public Consultation on Revising the Export Prohibition and Restriction Technology Catalogue (“Notice”). 

The Notice clarifies that the revision intends to delete 32 technical items, modify 36 items, and add 7 items. The revised Catalogue contains 139 items, including 24 items prohibited from exporting and 115 items restricted from exporting. The revision substantially cuts down on the Catalogue, and also refine the control points of some technical items to strengthen international technical cooperation.
