CBP states in CSMS # 69647661 that, at BIS's request, it will set AESTIR Commodity Response Code 802 to Fatal on September 25, 2026; the code is currently set to Verify. Once set to Fatal, the EEI will be rejected and must be corrected for the submission to be accepted. Code 802 applies where the License Code or License Exemption Code indicates a BIS license claim and the license value reported on the CL1 record exceeds 110% of the BIS license value.

Global Affairs Canada issues Notice to Exporters No. 1159 on cloud storage of controlled technology

Global Affairs Canada's Notice to Exporters No. 1159 states that storing controlled technology in the cloud can constitute a transfer under the Export and Import Permits Act, requiring an export permit, where there is a reasonable possibility that a person outside Canada could examine the technology. GAC interprets a transfer as occurring when controlled technology is sent from Canada and stored abroad in a way that creates more than a remote possibility of foreign access, including through decryption keys or access rights. Safeguards consistent with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's Guidance on cloud security assessment and authorization will generally mean no permit is required.
