Abstract: The U.S. Government is removing the export licensing requirement for certain thermal imaging cameras to certain destinations. A new biannual reporting requirement will be imposed to allow the USG to verify that the cameras are continuing to be sold to appropriate end-users and that the relaxation in controls is not jeopardizing US national security or foreign policy interests.
