(Source: Breaking Defense News, 1 Sep 2026)
The Army has announced it awarded Georgia Tech Research Institute up to $33.4 million to be the lead weapons systems integrator for the service's Common Autonomous Multidomain Launcher (CAML) prototype program. . . .
The CAML program is set to serve as a replacement for the Army's Typhon --- its Mid-Range Capability (MRC) long-range launcher --- after the service discovered it was too large to operate on the battlefield. The new launcher will be an autonomous, optionally crewed, "highly mobile" cross-domain fires launcher designed to be air transportable.
As the weapons system integrator, Georgia Tech Research Institute will be responsible for support systems engineering, interface integration, modeling and simulating and other "integrated" testing for the CAML prototype program, the Army said in its release.
Rather than choosing a single, "complete system," the Army is "executing a modular acquisition strategy" where Georgia Tech will lead the integration of the autonomous mobility platform and the modular munitions pallets --- the components that make up the system. Per Monday's release, the Army is set to announce awards for the components in the coming months. . . .
10. Expeditors News: "CBP Updates Guidance on Entry Summary Ordering for Multiple HTS Classifications"
(Source: Expeditors News, 1 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]
In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on August 27, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided guidance on how to report multiple Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications for a single article on an entry summary line.
Per CBP's guidance, the HTSUS classifications should be reported in the following order:
Chapter 98 classification (if applicable).
Chapter 99 classification(s) for additional duties (if applicable).
For trade remedies,
First report the Chapter 99 classification for Section 301,
Followed by the Chapter 99 classification for Section 338,
Followed by the Chapter 99 classification for Section 232,
Followed by the Chapter 99 classification for Section 201 duties (if applicable),
Followed by the Chapter 99 classification for Section 201 quota (if applicable).
Chapter 99 classification(s) for REPLACEMENT duty or other use (i.e., Miscellaneous Tariff Bill or other provisions).
Chapter 99 classification for other quota (not covered by #3) (if applicable).
Chapter 1 to 97 classification.

11. Shapiro: "CBP Signals Major Expansion of Supply Chain Data Requirements"
(Source: Shap Flash, 1 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]
CBP is continuing its implementation of Executive Order 14411, Strengthening Customs Enforcement. In an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) scheduled for publication September 2, CBP is seeking industry input on potentially significant new requirements designed to give the agency greater visibility into the parties, documentation, and production processes behind goods imported into the United States.
Importantly, no new requirements are being imposed at this time. The ANPRM is an early step in the rulemaking process. CBP is soliciting comments through 64 questions, and the responses may ultimately be used to develop proposed regulations.
The proposals under consideration are broad and potentially consequential for importers. Key areas include:
Foreign export documentation. CBP is considering whether importers should be required to obtain, retain, or submit the documentation provided to foreign customs authorities---including foreign export declarations, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, export licenses, and transportation documents. . . .
Greater identification of supply-chain parties. CBP is questioning whether the longstanding Manufacturer Identification Code (MID) provides sufficient information and is exploring whether it should be enhanced or replaced with actual company names, physical addresses, and other identifiers for manufacturers, shippers, exporters, and potentially other parties involved in a transaction.
Global Business Identifiers (GBIs). CBP is considering expanded use---and potentially required use---of unique business identifiers to identify manufacturers, shippers, sellers, and other supply-chain participants. The identifiers currently being tested include D-U-N-S®, GLN, LEI and Altana ID.
Earlier and more detailed import data. CBP is asking whether supply-chain information should be provided earlier in the import process, including whether earlier entry filing deadlines would give CBP more time to review documentation and determine admissibility before arrival.
Technology and AI-driven supply-chain tracing. CBP is evaluating technology that could trace goods and raw materials through the supply chain, verify origin and production information, assign tamper-resistant credentials, and identify illegal transshipment. . . .
Expanded CTPAT expectations. CBP is also considering whether CTPAT participants should be required to use enhanced supply-chain tracing technology, provide CBP visibility into that technology, and meet expanded cybersecurity and data-integrity requirements.

12. ST&R Trade Report: "USTR Updates China Section 301 Tariff Exclusions to Reflect HTSUS Changes"
(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 1 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has announced amendments to four product exclusions from the Section 301 tariffs on China to reflect recent changes to the ten-digit statistical reporting categories in the HTSUS.
These tariffs range from 7.5 percent to 25 percent and are assessed on about $370 billion worth of imports from China across four lists (lists 1-4A). There are 178 exclusions to these tariffs that are currently valid through Nov. 9.
USTR states that the amendments being made to maintain the coverage of these exclusions in light of the HTSUS changes (see the annex to this notice for details) are effective as of July 1, 2026. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will issue instructions on entry guidance and implementation.
13. Street Insider: "UK and European Defense Expansion Highlights ITAR Responsibilities for U.S. Defense Manufacturers"
(Source: Street Insider, 1 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]
As the United Kingdom and European allies accelerate defense production, expand multinational manufacturing and deepen cooperation with Ukraine, U.S. defense manufacturers participating in an increasingly interconnected global defense supply chain should ensure their employees understand their responsibilities under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), according to Cleared Systems, LLC.
Recent developments illustrate how quickly defense manufacturing is becoming more international. NATO has launched new initiatives aimed at expanding industrial production capacity and encouraging cross-border collaboration among U.S., Canadian and European companies. The United Kingdom and Poland have also entered a new security and defense partnership that includes joint development and manufacturing of next-generation missile technology.
More recently, the United Kingdom authorized the release of classified information involving British components of the Storm Shadow/SCALP missile to support plans for production in Ukraine. The development comes as European governments continue efforts to increase defense manufacturing capacity and strengthen defense supply chains.
For U.S. defense manufacturers, the expansion of multinational defense production creates opportunities, but it can also increase the importance of understanding U.S. export-control requirements. . . .
Under ITAR, certain defense articles, defense services and related technical data are subject to U.S. export controls. Depending on the circumstances, releasing controlled technical data to a foreign person can constitute an export even when the information never physically leaves the United States.
That distinction can be particularly important for manufacturers.
Engineering drawings, specifications, manufacturing instructions, software, photographs and other technical information may be exchanged during design reviews, supplier communications, troubleshooting, production and other routine business activities.
Organizations also need to consider who can access controlled information through information systems, cloud platforms and collaborative environments. "An engineer can create an export-control problem with a drawing just as easily as someone in shipping can create one with a physical product," Johnson said. "That is why ITAR awareness cannot stop with the export manager. Employees who handle technical data or support controlled programs need to understand where the boundaries are and know when to stop and ask for guidance."
Training Becomes Part of Defense Supply-Chain Readiness. The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls has identified training as an element of an effective ITAR compliance program. Training should be appropriate to an employee's responsibilities and supported by records demonstrating completion. For defense manufacturers, that can mean: . . . [Full article]

14. Akin: "Return of the Bulk-Power Executive Order: Upcoming Restrictions on Foreign-Produced Bulk-Power System Electric Equipment Transactions"
(Source: Akin Alerts, 31 Aug 2026) [Excerpts]
Principal Author: Christian C. Davis, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP
On August 26, 2026, President Trump issued Executive Order 14420, "Declaring a National Emergency to Secure the United States Bulk-Power System," which declares a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act (NEA), and authorizes the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to prohibit or restrict certain transactions involving foreign-produced bulk-power system equipment linked to certain "Covered Foreign Entities" (e.g., China and Russia-linked companies) determined to present specified national-security risks.
Key Takeaways:
For transactions initiated after August 26, 2026, the Secretary of Energy may prohibit, condition or mitigate certain transactions involving foreign-produced bulk-power system electric equipment if the equipment is associated with a Covered Foreign Entity and presents specified risks to the bulk-power system, critical infrastructure, the U.S. economy, national security, or the safety and security of U.S. persons.
In connection with such prohibited transactions, DOE may review equipment acquired or installed before the date of the Order and impose conditions on their continued use, operation, maintenance, servicing or updating, including requirements to identify, isolate, monitor, secure, disconnect, replace or remove such equipment.
The Order authorizes DOE to recognize certain bulk-power system electric equipment and vendors as pre-qualified for future transactions and exempt from the Order's prohibitions. However, DOE retains authority to prohibit, condition or otherwise regulate transactions involving even pre-qualified equipment or vendors, meaning companies should not treat prequalification as eliminating transaction-specific risk.
Within 120 days of the Order (i.e., December 24, 2026), DOE must issue implementing rules or regulations and may establish licensing procedure and further scoping clarifications.
Potential procurement restrictions are also forthcoming. Within 180 days of the Order, DOE must consult with the FAR Council and other appropriate officials and submit recommended FAR revisions intended to ensure national security risks are considered in federal procurements involving energy infrastructure and to prioritize U.S.-manufactured energy infrastructure; the FAR Council must then consider whether to propose implementing FAR amendments for notice and comment within 90 days of receiving DOE's recommendations.
15. Baker/McKenzie: "US Government Issues Executive Order 14420 to Secure US Bulk-Power System"
(Source: Sanctions and Export Controls Blog, 1 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]
Principal Author: Eunkyung Kim Shin; Baker Mckenzie
On August 26, 2026, President Trump issued Executive Order 14420, "Declaring a National Emergency to Secure the United States Bulk-Power System" ("EO 14420"), which aims to prevent certain foreign actors from creating or exploiting vulnerabilities in foreign-produced equipment used in the US bulk-power system.
EO 14420 builds on and significantly expands Executive Order 13920, "Securing the United States Bulk-Power System" ("EO 13920"), which the Trump administration issued in 2020 and formed the basis of an existing prohibition order issued by the US Department of Energy ("DOE"). Our prior blog posts on EO 13920 and the DOE prohibition order are available here and here.
The White House also issued a fact sheet related to the issuance of EO 14420: Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Declares a National Emergency to Secure America's Bulk-Power System ("Fact Sheet"). The Fact Sheet emphasizes that EO 14420 reaches associated critical software and digital capabilities that could create cybersecurity or operational risks; it does not apply to facilities used for the local distribution of electric energy. . . .

16. Bass Berry & Sims: "BIS Settlement Highlights Russia Export Control Risks for EAR99 Items and Third-Country Transactions"
(Source: Bass Berry & Sims blog, 1 Sep 2026)
Principal Author: Faith Dibble, Bass Berry & Sims LLP
Key Takeaways:
EAR99 does not mean license-free. Items classified as EAR99 still require a BIS license for export to some destinations, end-users, and end-uses.
Restricted-party screening is only part of export compliance. A clean screening result does not eliminate the need to evaluate destination-based and product-specific controls.
Red flags must be resolved before a transaction proceeds. Bank warnings, changes to shipping documents, third-country payment arrangements, and requests to route transactions through intermediaries can create significant export control risk.
On August 24, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a $1 million settlement with Ohio-based Container Manufacturing Ltd. (CML) to resolve allegations that the company exported restricted industrial parts to Russia without authorizations required under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). According to BIS, the violations occurred between March 2023 and March 2025, and included parts valued at approximately $265,000. Notably, two of the shipments involved violations made with knowledge, which may explain a penalty amount nearly four times the value of the underlying transactions.
CML Exported Equipment and Parts to Russia
CML manufactures equipment and replacement parts used in the production of aluminum beverage cans. Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, CML had a relationship with the Russian subsidiary of a U.S. company. After that U.S. company exited Russia in 2022, a Russian company acquired the plant and equipment and became CML's customer.
The settlement documents indicate that CML periodically screened its new Russian customer against the U.S. government's prohibited and restricted parties lists, and those searches apparently did not produce any matches. As BIS makes clear, the absence of a screening list match did not mean that the transactions were authorized.
Among other restrictions that BIS implemented following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, BIS established a list of industrial goods that, based on their Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code, require a license for export, re-export, or transfer to or within Russia or Belarus. (The list is at Supplement No. 4 to Part 746 of the EAR.) Importantly, the list includes many items that are covered under the lightly-controlled export classification of EAR99.
Certain CML products covered under EAR99 also are covered by HTS codes that are included on the list and thus require a BIS license for export to Russia. As BIS itself explains in its guidance on classifying EAR99 items, as a general rule, EAR99 items can be exported or re-exported to most destinations and end-users without a license. That general rule does not apply to Russia.

Compliance Vigilance is Important Even When Exporting EAR99 Items, No Restricted Party Involvement. . . .

17. CLK: "U.S. Eases Restrictions on Commercial Engagement with Syria"
(Source: Cassidy Levy Kent Insights, 31 Aug 2026) [Excerpts]
Author: Ulrika K. Swanson, Cassidy Levy Kent (USA) LLP
Last week, the U.S. Department of State rescinded Syria's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and removed Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham from its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorist organizations. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control also removed the group from its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.
These actions represent the latest step in broader U.S. efforts to ease sanctions and export-control restrictions that previously limited commercial engagement with Syria, with the intent of supporting the country's economic recovery and reintegration into the global economy.
These measures build upon steps taken by the administration since June 2025, when Executive Order 14312 terminated the national emergency relating to Syria and directed agencies to unwind key elements of the longstanding Syria sanctions framework.
Since that time, the United States has repealed the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, revoked Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham's (HTS) designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, delisted certain Syrian government officials, relaxed export control restrictions, and waived various Syria-related sanctions.
The updated Tri-Seal Advisory issued by the Departments of State, Treasury, and Commerce states that the United States no longer imposes comprehensive sanctions on Syria and that U.S. sanctions generally no longer act as a barrier to most business activity involving Syria. . . . [Full article]

19. Volkov: "BIS's FY2025 Annual Report: An 18-Fold Enforcement Surge and What It Means for Export Compliance Programs"
(Source: Volkov Law, 1 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]
Principal Author: Michael Volkov, Volkov Law Group LLC
The Bureau of Industry and Security's Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Report to Congress is not a routine bureaucratic filing. It reads more like a mission statement, and the numbers inside it back up the rhetoric. Export control enforcement has escalated dramatically over the past year, and companies operating in semiconductors, aerospace, defense, dual-use technology, and cross-border trade more broadly need to understand exactly how much the enforcement landscape has shifted.
The Headline Number: An 18-Fold Increase in Penalties. BIS imposed approximately $324 million in civil and criminal penalties in calendar year 2025, compared to roughly $16 million in 2024. That is an eighteen-fold increase in a single year. Breaking the figure down further sharpens the picture: administrative penalties alone jumped from $10 million in 2024 to $108 million in 2025, and criminal fines, forfeitures, and restitution rose from $6 million to $216 million over the same period. Indictments climbed from 112 to 162.
This is not incremental growth. It is a structural change in how aggressively the agency is pursuing export control violations, and companies that built their compliance risk tolerance around the enforcement environment of the past several years need to recalibrate.
Landmark Cases Setting the Tone. Several individual enforcement actions illustrate just how large penalties have become.
BIS imposed a $95 million administrative penalty on Cadence Design Systems for exporting Electronic Design Automation software and hardware to Entity List parties in China, including a company the agency directly tied to China's nuclear weapons modernization efforts.
Shortly after the fiscal year closed, BIS announced a $252 million penalty against Applied Materials for exporting semiconductor manufacturing equipment to an Entity List party, a statutory maximum penalty and the second-largest standalone penalty BIS has ever imposed.
On the criminal side, the report highlights the indictment of three former Super Micro executives, including a company co-founder and board member, in what BIS describes as the largest semiconductor smuggling case ever brought, involving an alleged $2.5 billion in servers routed to China through cut-out companies in Southeast Asia. If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison. Cases at this scale, both in dollar terms and in the seniority of the individuals charged, signal that BIS is willing to pursue enforcement all the way up an organization's leadership chain.

EDITOR'S NOTES
22. Do You Have Access to the Latest and Greatest ITAR and FTR?
Bartlett's Annotated ITAR ("BITAR") (28 Aug 2026) and Bartlett's Annotated FTR ("BAFTR") (6 July 2026) are Word documents to download to your laptop to keep you updated on the latest amendments to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR 120-130) and the Foreign Trade Regulations (15 CFR Part 30).
They contain over a thousand footnotes of errors in the official text, section histories, key cases, practice tips, Consent Agreements, glossaries, and extensive Tables of Contents. You download the updated edition when the regs are amended, so you'll always have the latest regulations.
But if the official on-line version of the ITAR is free, why subscribe to the BITAR?"
Answer: Compare the BITAR with the Government's free version.
You'll see why all export professionals must use the BITAR and BAFTR.

William Cartwright (1 Sep 1611 -- 29 Nov 1643; was an English poet, dramatist and churchman.)
"Love makes those young whom age doth chill, and whom he finds young keeps young still."
Marguerite Gardiner Blessington (Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington; 1 Sep 1789 -- 4 Jun 1849; was an Irish novelist and journalist.)
"We never respect those who amuse us; however we may smile at their comic powers."
Kin Hubbard (Frank McKinney Hubbard; 1 Sep 1868 -- 26 Dec 1930; better known as Kin Hubbard, was an American cartoonist, humorist, and journalist. Humorist Will Rogers once declared that Hubbard was "America's greatest humorist".)
"A good listener is usually thinking about something else."
"When a feller says, 'It ain't the money but the principle of the thing', it's the money."
"There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose."
"The only way to entertain some folks is to listen to them."
"Fun is like life insurance; the older you get, the more it costs."
