What are “installed base items”?
“Installed base items” is the term that BIS uses to describe items that may have been originally illegally exported or reexported to Libya by third parties. Section 764.2(e) of the EAR prohibits ordering, buying, removing, concealing, storing, using, selling, loaning, disposing of, transferring, financing, forwarding, or otherwise servicing, in whole or part, installed base items. This prohibition is restated in General Prohibition No. 10 in Section 736.2(b) of the EAR.
