Vietnam Adopts New Dual-Use Export Control Rules
Vietnam adopted new dual-use export control regulations Oct. 10, setting rules for the "management of export, temporary import for re-export, transshipment" and "transit of strategic commercial goods," according to an unofficial translation. The regulations outline export licensing procedures for shipments of controlled items and say exporters moving those goods are "encouraged to develop and implement an Internal Compliance Program," including procedures for reviewing end users and uses, training employees and keeping records.

Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
The rules set controls across 10 categories of items:
- radioactive materials and nuclear devices
- electronics, including certain microprocessors, integrated circuits, semiconductor substrates and positive resists
- computers
- telecommunications, sensors and lasers
- accelerometers, antimeters, aircraft inertial measurement devices and engines
- manned submersible vehicles and related parts and equipment
- biological agents that cause human diseases and toxins
- chemicals
- metals and alloys
- unmanned aerial vehicles.
The regulations were released almost four months after the U.S. and the EU organized an export control workshop in Hanoi to help Vietnam implement trade controls over sensitive items (see 2506260007).
