八个问题详解美国半导体出口管制新规，业界应做好准备
By King & Wood
作者：楼仙英 戴梦皓 姚爽 陈若思 郑子懿 2023年10月17日，美国商务部产业安全局（“BIS”）就先进计算芯片、超级计算机和半导体制造设备的相关出口管制发布了两个新的临时最终规则（Interim Final Rule,“IFR”），即：先进计算物项和超级计算机临时最终规则（“AC/S IFR”）和半导体生产物项临时最终规则（“SME IFR”），以对2022年10月7日所发布的针对中国的半导体出口管制临时最终规则（“10.07 IFR”）进行全面修订。在10.07 IFR发布时隔一年之后，BIS结合了半导体业界对于10.07 IFR的反馈以及10.07 IFR在实际执行中其所发现的一些具体问题所发布这两个新一轮IFR， 与10.07 IFR相比，虽然没有对原有监管思路的结构性调整，但是条目设置和监管逻辑更为缜密，充分体现了美国政府在立法公告中所提出的相关出口管制政策“保证效率、查漏堵缺、持续管控”的方针。在此，我们结合我们在出口管制和半导体领域多年的经验和思考，对本次法规更新中中国公司较为关心的问题进行说明，希望中国企业能对此有清晰的理解，并对企业发展做出正确的判断。 阅读更多
