如何正确理解与使用美国出口管制中的许可例外
By King & Wood
景云峰、胡梅(Meg Utterback)、曹宇珂 (Nic Cao) 根据美国商务部工业与安全局(BIS)的统计,2018年经许可例外(License Exception)授权的全球出口贸易额约为200亿美元。2017年,在美国出口到中国大陆地区的高科技贸易中,使用最多的是许可例外ENC(针对加密产品、软件及技术的一种许可例外),涉及23.3亿美元的交易,在当年美国对中国大陆使用许可例外授权的出口贸易额中(24.5亿美元)[1],占比高达95%。 根据美国《出口管理条例》(EAR),许可例外是一种许可授权。如果一笔交易满足特定的条件,即可使用特定的许可例外发货,免除申请许可证的行政流程,大幅节省发货等待时间。据统计,BIS在收到一份完整的许可证申请后,根据出口目的地国家和地区的不同,通常需要18到30天来判断是否批准出口许可证。由此可见,作为经营美国高科技产品的企业,正确理解与使用许可例外显得至关重要。 一、什么是许可授权和许可例外? 许可授权 BIS的主要职能之一是为那些出口、再出口[1]美国商品、软件或技术的潜在贸易活动提供准确、及时和一致性的评估和审核。被授权的交易应在保障美国国家安全、外交政策和经济利益的同时,避免相应的行政干预对合理的国际贸易活动产生过度的影响。 BIS自2013年以来向中国大陆地区发放出口许可证的数量逐年稳定增长。2017年,BIS收到出口、再出口到中国大陆地区的出口许可申请3,550份(不包含视同出口许可申请[2]),其中: 由BIS审核通过并发放出口许可证2,932张,约占申请总数的83%; 由BIS审核后被认定为无需提交申请(Return Without Action, RWA)的申请数量为544份,占申请总数的15%; 由BIS审核后拒绝的申请为74份,仅占申请总数的2%[3]; 针对中国大陆地区出口许可证的行政审核的时间由2013年的平均33天降至30天。 数据来源:美国商务部工业与安全局 2018年2月10日统计[4] 许可例外 根据美国《出口管理条例》(EAR)740章节,许可例外授权是指本应该向美国BIS申请出口许可证,但因具备某些条件从而不需要申请出口许可证即可进行出口或再出口交易的情形。 (1)十八项许可例外 目前在EAR 中有十八项许可例外,它们的英文缩写和对应的中文名称如下: 序号 缩写 许可例外标题 1 ENC…

换个视角看中美高科技贸易合作—— 美国出口管制政策对中国企业的影响
By King & Wood
近期我们看到,美国商务部以国家安全和外交政策为由,相继将中国多家科技企业列入美国《实体清单》,极大程度上限制了这些企业获取美国产品和技术的能力。与此同时,伴随2018年8月签署的《美国出口管制改革法案》,针对一些目前尚未列入出口管控清单的新兴技术和基础技术的具体管制项目也即将出台。
