(Source: 91 FR 60505, 24 Sep 2026)

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Strategic Industries and Economic Security, U.S. Department of Commerce
ACTION: Temporary final rule
SUMMARY: On August 6, 2026, the President issued Proclamation 11052, “Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and Its Derivatives Into the United States” (Proclamation 11052), ordering the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to take action to restrict imports by a company if he determines the company is stockpiling polysilicon or polysilicon derivatives (Polysilicon Products) in advance of import adjustments that will be effective on December 4, 2026.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), in this temporary final rule (TFR), announces the criteria and process it will use to monitor existing companies for evidence of stockpiling, limit a newly established importer’s ability to stockpile, and subject companies that are stockpiling to an import prohibition if necessary.
This TFR also establishes the process for such companies to obtain a waiver from any import prohibitions imposed pursuant to this rule, and imposes certain import limitations on new importers that register with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on or after August 6, 2026.
DATES: This rule is effective September 22, 2026, through December 3, 2026.

10. Treasury/OFAC Publishes Regulatory Amendments and Report for Licensing Under TSRA

(Source: Treasury/OFAC, 24 Sep 2026)

     The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is consolidating previously existing information regarding enforcement procedures and penalties, including the rights of U.S. persons being investigated for violations, that are currently located in individual parts of 31 CFR chapter V into a new part, the Sanctions Penalties Regulations.
     Following publication of this part, OFAC will update parts within 31 CFR chapter V to replace existing penalties information with cross-references to the Regulations, resulting in the deletion of over 100 subparts from existing regulations.
     OFAC is amending the Terrorism List Governments Sanctions Regulations to implement changes resulting from the rescission of the designation of Syria as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Specifically, OFAC is removing and reserving a Syria-specific general license because the authorization is no longer necessary following the rescission.
     OFAC has released a Quarterly Report of Licensing Activities pursuant to Section 906(b) of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 (TSRA), covering activities undertaken by OFAC under Section 906(a)(1) of the TSRA from April through June 2026. Under the procedures established in its TSRA-related regulations, OFAC processes license applications requesting authorization to export agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices to Iran under the specific licensing regime set forth in Section 906 of the TSRA.

11. US Trade Representative Announces Fiscal Year 2027 WTO Tariff-Rate Quota Allocations for Raw Cane Sugar

(Source: USTR Press Office, 23 Sep 2026)

     The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) today announced country-specific in-quota allocations of the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) for imported raw cane sugar for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027).
     TRQs allow countries to export specified quantities of a product to the United States at a relatively low tariff, but subject all imports of the product above a pre-determined threshold to a higher tariff.
     On July 14, 2026, the Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the establishment of the in-quota quantity for raw cane sugar for FY 2027.
     The in-quota quantity for the TRQ on raw cane sugar for FY 2027 is 1,117,195 metric tons raw value (MTRV), which is the minimum amount to which the United States is committed under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement.
     On July 24, 2026, USTR provided notice of country-by-country allocations for 1,061,202 MTRV of the FY 2027 in-quota quantity of the WTO TRQ for imported raw cane sugar. See 91 FR 46822. The U.S. Trade Representative is allocating the remaining quantity of 55,993 MTRV to the following countries in the amounts specified below.

13. Expeditors News: “CBP Publishes Guidance on Section 301 China Conforming Amendment”

(Source: Expeditors News, 23 Sep 2026)

     In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on September 22, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided guidance on amendments made to certain Section 301 China product exclusions.
     The guidance reviews the amendments published by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in the Federal Register on September 2, 2026. The USTR made conforming amendments to four product exclusions claimed under 9903.88.69 to reflect changes that occurred to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) on July 1, 2026.
     As a result of these amendments, some importers may have overpaid duties between July 1, 2026, and September 22, 2026, if eligible imports were not entered under the applicable 9903.88.69 exclusion during this window. CBP encourages importers to file a post summary correction (PSC) or protest, to obtain a refund of duties paid.
     The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) functionality for the conforming amendments will go into effect on September 23, 2026. CSMS # 69990649 is HERE. USTR’s Federal Register Notice on the conforming amendments is HERE.

(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 24 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035

     U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that it will conduct a test of electronic export manifests for truck cargo. This test will begin Oct. 23 and run for about two years and will be limited to nine truck carriers.
     Under existing regulations, truck carriers are not required to submit a manifest for cargo exported from the U.S. by truck. However, the U.S. principal party in interest is required to submit any required electronic export information for such cargo in the Automated Commercial Environment.
     Under the forthcoming test, participants will submit certain limited export manifest data in ACE at least 24 hours prior to departure from the U.S. to a foreign destination. Participants will then submit the complete export manifest filing no later than two hours prior to arrival at the final port of export. … [Continue]

18. Greenberg Traurig: “China Links Export Controls To Exit Bans: What State Council Order No. 841 Means for Multinational Companies”

(Source: GT Alerts, 24 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]

Principal Author: Junko Suetomi, Greenberg Traurig LLP

On July 22, 2026, China’s State Council issued a new immigration regulation – the Regulation on Exit and Entry Administration (State Council Order No. 841, the Regulation) – that should be on the radar of multinational companies operating in or within China, particularly those in technology-intensive industries. The Regulation took effect on Sept. 15, 2026.
Key Takeaways:

China has expressly linked certain export control and technology import and export violations to its exit ban authority, confirming that, in specified circumstances, violation of these rules may now have consequences for the mobility of Chinese personnel.
Chinese employees or executives subject to an exit restriction may not receive advance notice, creating potential disruption to planned international travel, overseas assignments, or expatriate rotations.
Technology-intensive industries – including semiconductors, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing – face heightened relevance, but the Regulation is not limited to these sectors.
Multinational companies may wish to reassess cross-border mobility planning, joint research arrangements, and internal compliance coordination, as the Regulation underscores the growing importance of cross-functional coordination in managing issues that may implicate both export control compliance and personnel mobility. …

This GT Alert provides an overview of the Regulation’s key provisions and examines the specific intersection of China’s export control regime and its immigration administration system. It then discusses practical implications for multinational companies, particularly those that regularly move personnel between China and overseas locations or engage in technology-related collaboration with Chinese partners. … [Continue]

20. Tom’s Hardware: “Semiconductor Analyst Says AMD Should Be Investigated for 'Treason' Over Availability of Chips in China”

(Source: Tom’s Hardware Today, 24 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]

* Author: Anton Shilov, Tom’s Hardware

     Dylan Patel, the head of SemiAnalysis, a top semiconductor analysis company, has discovered that China-based Puzhi Electronic Technology is crowdfunding development of a system that is based on AMD's Zynq UltraScale+ XCZU47DR RFSoC, which is a U.S. export-controlled dual-use component.
     Dylan Patel called on the government to investigate AMD for treason, whereas, in a statement to Tom's Hardware, AMD denied selling or shipping the chips directly into the restricted region and said it investigates suspected cases of illegal diversion. …
     AMD denies any wrongdoing and says it investigates suspected diversion cases to determine whether any violation of law occurred, although it did not explicitly confirm that it had opened an investigation into this particular case.

21. Volkov: “Two Sentencings, One Week: What a Failed Bank CEO and a Former Oil Trader Have in Common”

(Source: Volkov Law, 24 Sep 2026) [Excerpts]

* Author: Michael Volkov, Volkov Law Group LLC

     DOJ announced two significant executive sentencings within a day of each other this week, and while the underlying conduct is different, a bank CEO’s fraud and sanctions evasion scheme versus an oil trader’s foreign bribery scheme, both cases carry the same underlying message for compliance officers: individual accountability for executive-level misconduct remains a live, active DOJ priority, and prison sentences in the range of four to nine-plus years are the real, current consequence for this kind of conduct.
     Nodus Bank: A CEO Who Turned His Own Institution Into a Personal Piggy Bank. Tomás Niembro Concha, the 64-year-old former chief executive officer of Nodus International Bank, a Puerto Rico-based international bank, was sentenced to 112 months, more than nine years, in prison and three years of supervised release for leading a scheme that fraudulently obtained at least $24.9 million from his own bank while separately conspiring to evade U.S. sanctions on Venezuela. He was also ordered to forfeit more than $16.9 million. …
     The sanctions evasion piece of the case is, if anything, even more brazen. Between 2021 and 2023, Niembro conspired to conduct prohibited financial transactions with an individual OFAC had designated as a Specially Designated National for providing material support to Venezuela’s state oil company, PDVSA. …
     Niembro pleaded guilty on March 19 to a two-count information charging conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. As Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva put it, “when individuals who are supposed to serve as gatekeepers to our financial system choose to abuse that trust and instead use their access to facilitate crimes, the Criminal Division will hold them accountable.” [Full article]

25. Bartlett's Unfamiliar Quotations

(Source: Brainy Quotes)

F. Scott Fitzgerald (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald; 24 Sep 1896 – 21 Dec 1940; was an American novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and short-story writer, although he was best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age—a term which he coined. His third novel, The Great Gatsby (1925), is widely praised, with some even labeling it the "Great American Novel".)
- "Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over."
- "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."
- "Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke."
John Marshall (24 Sep 1755 – 6 Jul 1835; was an American politician and lawyer who served as the fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 until his death in 1835. Marshall remains the longest-serving chief justice, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential justices to ever sit on the Supreme Court.)
- “To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well.”
- “The power to tax is the power to destroy.”
Horace Walpole (Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford; 24 Sep 1717 – 2 Mar 1797; better known as Horace Walpole, was an English writer, art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. His literary reputation rests on the first Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto, and his Letters, which are of significant social and political interest. They have been published by Yale University Press in 48 volumes.)
- “The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.”
- “He would be a very absurd legislator who should pretend to set bounds to his country's welfare, lest it should perish by knowing no bounds.”
