Further Enhancing Australia, United Kingdom, United States (AUKUS) Trilateral Security Partnership through Export Controls
On April 19, 2024, the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued an interim final rule reducing export control licensing requirements for Australia and the United Kingdom (UK) as a means to further strengthen the AUKUS trilateral security partnership between the three countries. With this rule, Australia and the UK will have nearly the same liberal licensing treatment under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as Canada. For example, many Commerce-controlled items, including certain military, aerospace and satellite-related items, will now be eligible for export or reexport to Australia and the UK without a license.
