It is the policy of the United States to deny licenses and other approvals for exports and imports of defense articles and defense services, destined for or originating in certain countries. This policy applies to Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela and Vietnam. This policy also applies to countries with respect to which the United States maintains an arms embargo (e.g., Burma, China, Liberia, Somalia, and Sudan) or whenever an export would not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and foreign policy of the United States. Information regarding certain other embargoes appears elsewhere in this section. Comprehensive arms embargoes are normally the subject of a State Department notice published in the Federal Register.

Exports to countries which the Secretary of State has determined to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism are contrary to the foreign policy of the United States and are thus subject to the policy specified in paragraph (a) of this section and the requirements of section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2780) and the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801, note).

and other approvals for exports and imports of defense articles and 
defense services, destined for or originating in certain countries. 
This policy applies to Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, 
Venezuela and Vietnam. This policy also applies to countries with 
respect to which the United States maintains an arms embargo (e.g., 
Burma, China, Liberia, Somalia, and Sudan) or whenever an export would 
not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and 
foreign policy of the United States. Information regarding certain 
other embargoes appears elsewhere in this section. Comprehensive arms 
embargoes are normally the subject of a State Department notice 
published in the Federal Register. The exemptions provided in the 
regulations in this subchapter, except Sec.  123.17 of this subchapter, 
do not apply with respect to articles originating in or for export to 
any proscribed countries, areas, or persons in this Sec.  126.1.

    (d) Terrorism. Exports to countries which the Secretary of State 
has determined to have repeatedly provided support for acts of 
international terrorism are contrary to the foreign policy of the 
United States and are thus subject to the policy specified in paragraph 
(a) of this section and the requirements of section 40 of the Arms 
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2780) and the Omnibus Diplomatic Security 
and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4801, note). The countries in 
this category are: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

    (k) Libya. It is the policy of the United Sates to deny licenses, 
other approvals, exports or imports of defense articles and defense 
services destined for or originating in Libya except, on a case-by-case 
basis, for:
    (1) Non-lethal defense articles and defense services,
    (2) Non-lethal safety-of-use defense articles (e.g., cartridge 
actuated devices, propellant actuated devices and technical manuals for 
military aircraft for purposes of enhancing the safety of

the aircrew) as spare parts for lethal end-items.
    For non-lethal defense end-items, no distinction will be made 
between Libya's existing and new inventory.

Robert G. Joseph,
Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Department
