The Nonproliferation brochure has been changed by the deletion
of NORINCO/North China Industries Corporation from the list
of foreign persons designated by the Secretary of State as
subject to an import ban pursuant to Executive Order 12938
of November 14, 1994, as amended by Executive Order 13094
of July 28, 1998.
On May 23, 2003, the Secretary of State determined that NORINCO/North
China Industries Corporation had engaged in missile technology
proliferation activities and imposed measures on NORINCO/North
China Industries Corporation pursuant to Executive Order 12938,
as amended, including a two-year ban on the importation into
the United States of goods, technology or services produced
or provided by NORINCO/North China Industries Corporation,
its subunits and successors. This import ban was implemented
by Treasury Department's Weapons of Mass Destruction Trade
Control Regulations, 31 CFR Part 539 (the WMD Regulations).
To reflect the expiration of the two-year import ban imposed
on NORINCO/North China Industries Corporation by the May 23,
2003 determination by the Secretary of State, NORINCO/North
China Industries Corporation has been deleted from the Nonproliferation
brochure's list of foreign persons designated pursuant to
Executive Order 12938, as amended. Accordingly, imports from
NORINCO/North China Industries Corporation are no longer subject
to the prohibitions in Treasury's WMD Regulations. These imports,
however, remain subject to all other applicable laws and regulations,
including a two-year ban on the importation of products produced
by NORINCO/North China Industries Corporation, its subunits
and successors that was imposed by the Secretary of State
on September 19, 2003, pursuant to section 73(a)(1) of the
Arms Export Control Act and section 11B(b)(1) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (as carried out under
Executive Order 13222).
