The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security has undergone significant institutional changes under the Trump administration that present enormous practical challenges but also create unexpected opportunities for exporters, write partner Christopher Timura and associate Scott Toussaint for Law360 [PDF].

“Practitioners should not let this moment pass by,” they write. “Although the continuing overhaul of BIS has complicated the day-to-day activities of numerous exporters, it potentially also offers industry a once-in-a-generation opening to advocate for simplifying and rationalizing U.S. export controls.”
