General Order Implementing Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Act of 2003

The Bureau of Industry and Security is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding new General Order No. 2 to Supplement No. 1, Part 736. Section 5(a)(1) of the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Act of 2003 (the SAA), requires a prohibition on the export to Syria of all items on the Commerce Control List (CCL). The SAA also requires that the President impose two or more of the six additional sanctions set forth in the SAA. One of the additional sanctions chosen by the President prohibits the export to Syria of products of the United States, other than food and medicine. This Order is issued consistent with Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004, which implements the SAA.
