Home » Trade Compliance » Implementation of the 2023 Directory of Dual-Use Items and Technologies Subject to Import and Export License Control
The revised catalog comprises Dual-Use Items Import License Control Catalog and Dual-Use Items Export License Control Catalog. Listed items/technologies refer to those controlled under PRC Export Control Law, Cryptography Law and related regulations. Regardless of whether HS codes are specified, all catalog-listed items/technologies require dual-use import/export licenses. Where discrepancies exist between catalog descriptions and legal provisions, the latter prevail.
Additionally, radioactive isotope importers must obtain MOFCOM dual-use import licenses after ecological environment ministry approval per Radioisotope Safety Regulations and Dual-Use Items License Measures, presenting licenses for customs clearance.
