C57 Must be Used for VEU Exports Instead of Other License Codes
Census sources have confirmed that filers should now use license code C57 to report VEU-eligible exports as appropriate since BIS has published the names of five initial VEUs for China. (Census sources have stated by telephone that although the VEU program has been extended to India, because BIS has not yet listed any eligible VEUs for India, license code C57 should not yet be used for any India exports.)
(On June 19, 2007, BIS issued a final rule which created a new authorization for VEUs located in eligible destinations in China, etc. to which commodities, software and technology (except those controlled for missile technology (MT) or crime control (CC) reasons) may be exported, reexported or transferred without a license. Authorization VEU was extended to India on October 2, 2007.
On October 19, 2007, BIS issued a final rule listing the names of five end-users in China approved to receive exports, reexports, and transfers of certain items to certain destinations under Authorization VEU.)
