On May 20th, BIS published amendments to the CCL corresponding to the changes multilaterally agreed by the Wassenaar Arrangement December 2010.
We can already see the amended CCL in web site.
As posted in blog, Japan also updated the control items list to accomodate Wassenaar 2010 list and will implement it on July 02, 2011. This quick change of the list both US and Japan will positively affect both US and Japan exporters. Operational concern for traders are the disparities with other EU list following countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan.
