Census said filers in AES must use License Code C64 when using the new license exception, or they will likely receive a fatal error. The available ECCNs for License Code C64 are 4A005, 4D001, 4D004, 4E001, 5A001, 5B001, 5D001 and 5E001.
New License Exception ACE, announced by the Bureau of Industry and Security in October along with new export controls for certain cybersecurity items, will take effect Jan. 19 (see 2110200036). The exception will allow exports of certain cybersecurity items to most destinations, except to destinations listed in Country Groups E:1 and E:2 and certain end-users.
