  • Impact to Freight Forwarders:

    Mar, 07, 2022
    The immediate impact to freight forwarders is that the sanctions to Belarus have been extended to also include most controlled items effective with shipments on March 3. The most immediate impact to AES filers is that now all products with an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) in categories 3-9 (meaning those that begin with 3-9 (example 8A992) now require licenses if they are ultimately destined to Belarus as well as Russia. This applies even if goods are going to a different country, but we know that they are ultimately destined to Russia. If you report these ECCNs to AES, we anticipate that they will result in an AES Response “66Q” Compliance Alert soon, like what we see for Russia. BIS is in the process of updating this AES response message to include Belarus and will advise NCBFAA once that has been completed. This will be an additional indicator that these shipments CANNOT MOVE, but for now you it will be up to you to identify the shipments without benefit of an AES response message.
