On March 29, 2021, BIS issued a final rule modifying the EAR. In addition to implementing changes to several Export Control Classification Numbers ("ECCNs"), the final rule made three modifications that are noteworthy for companies working with commodities, software, or technology that utilize or implement encryption. Importantly, none of these changes affect any items that use non-standard cryptography.
