[KL] Export Administration Regulations & Implications for Malaysian Operations

SPECIAL SESSION

Export Administration Regulations & Implications for Malaysian Operations

Join AMCHAM on Thursday, 19 January 2023 from 10.30 AM – 12.00 PM for an IN-PERSON discussion and update on new U.S. export controls targeting China’s advanced semiconductor and supercomputer capabilities with Nathan Bush of DLA Piper who will share his insights and participate in a Q&A session.

On October 7, 2022, the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) released an interim final rule (Interim Final Rule) that implements several new export controls to restrict the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) ability to obtain certain advanced computing, semiconductor and related manufacturing items from the United States and overseas sources that rely on US technology. The public comment period ended on 12 December 2022.

As with many U.S. export control measures, the ramifications of the new rules depend heavily on the precise classification of specific items (including goods, software, and technology) under the EAR. Although the scope of the new rules aims to focus precisely on a relatively “narrow” range of very advanced supercomputer and IC products and technology, the new requirements with respect to the global semiconductor industry are remarkably “deep” and far-reaching.

Operators of facilities in Malaysia would be particularly concerned because sweeping new changes to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply both to US-origin items and items developed or produced outside the United States that are the “direct product” of US technology, software, plant, or manufacturing equipment.

Nathan Bush has been following these regulations and will be on hand to address your questions and help add clarity to what is a complex issue.
