U.S. Eases Syria Defense Trade Restrictions; BIS Country-Group Not Yet

The United States has lifted comprehensive economic sanctions on Syria and is easing defense trade restrictions, but export controls remain uneven across agencies. State’s ITAR amendment does not remove Syria from BIS Country Group E:1 or eliminate Syria-specific EAR licensing requirements.

Treasury’s additional Iran-related designation of VTB Bank compounds that banking risk, while the EU’s removal of Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman—and their continued designation under Latvian and Estonian national sanctions—underscores the need for jurisdiction-specific screening.
