Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited Because both the Ministry of Defence and Myanmar Economic Corporation play a large role in Burma’s economy, exporters doing business with Burma need to assess whether these entities play a role in any ongoing business activities (including as end user, purchaser, or intermediate consignee), as such activities could trigger a BIS licensing requirement. Additional restrictions In addition to the Entity List designations, BIS removed Burma’s eligibility for a number of license exceptions; changed Burma’s country group, resulting in a less favorable licensing policy; and extended the application of “military end user” and “military end use” (MEU) rules to Burma. Like the Entity List designations, these rules also became effective on 8 March 2021, but contain a savings clause of longer duration, authorizing any shipments of items that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of export or reexport no later than 7 April 2021, that would not have required a license prior to 8 March 2021.
