On November 15, 2024, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Cryptography Administration jointly issued the "List of Dual-Use Items Subject to Export Control of the People's Republic of China" (Ministry of Commerce Announcement No. 51 of 2024), hereinafter referred to as the "Control List", which will be implemented starting from December 1, 2024.
The "Control List" takes over the dual-use item export control lists from various legal documents about to be repealed, related to nuclear, biological, chemical, and missile sectors, and integrates them systematically according to the classification of ten industry sectors and five types of items. It forms a complete list system with unified export control codes, supplementing the "Catalogue of Dual-Use Items and Technologies Subject to Import and Export License Administration (2024)."
Therefore, enterprises should primarily refer to the "Catalogue of Dual-Use Items and Technologies Subject to Import and Export License Administration (2024)" when exporting, and refer to the "Control List" for products in nuclear, biological, chemical, and missile sectors. Exporters listed in the aforementioned directory/list must apply for a dual-use item export license.
