Days before the Huawei Temporary General License (TGL) was set
to expire, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has extended
it for the third time. The new expiration date is April 1,
2020.
On May 16, 2019, BIS originally placed Huawei Technologies Co.,
Ltd. and 68 of its affiliates on the Entity List, which prohibited
exports, reexports or transfer (in-country) of items subject to the
EAR without an export license. A few days later,
BIS issued a Temporary General License for transactions relating to
certain scenarios. For more information on this
listing and the original TGL, see our client alert from
May 22, 2019.
The TGL was due to expire on August 19, 2019, but was extended
just before expiration. In that extension, BIS
added 46 additional non-US affiliates of Huawei to the Entity List
and made certain other conforming changes and clarifications to the
scope of the TGL and the terms "third parties" and
"fully operational networks."
