 New BIS License Exception C58 - Consumer Communication Devices (CCD)

**********************************************************************
       

Effective immediately, a new License Exception C58 for Consumer Communication 
Devices (CCD) has been added to the Automated Export System (AES). 

The Bureau of Industry and Security has created this new exception under
§740.19 of the Export Administration Regulations to authorize exports and
reexports to Cuba of certain donated consumer communications devices, 
computers and software.  Under License Exception CCD, exports of eligible 
commodities and software may be made to individuals in Cuba and to independent
non-governmental organizations in Cuba.  Exports or reexports under License 
Exception CCD may not be made to organizations administered or controlled 
by the Cuban Government or the Communist Party or to designated officials 
of the Cuban Government or Communist Party.

United States Principal Parties in Interest (USPPIs) and their authorized
filing agents (AES filers) must follow the following new reporting 
requirements regardless of value when using C58 to prevent the return 
of fatal errors from AES.
