What is the “official” version of the Export Administration Regulations?
The “official” version of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) appears in the Code of Federal Regulations, a U.S. Government publication. All changes to the EAR are published in the Federal Register and these published changes represent the final “official” revision of the EAR, on which you should rely in making your export determinations. There are unofficial versions of the EAR that may be more convenient for you to use. The EAR are online at the GPO web site. Also, BIS announces significant regulatory revisions on its main web site. In addition, for your convenience BIS contracts with the Government Printing Office to print a loose leaf version of the EAR. This version may be purchased as an annual subscription, including a base manual updated by quarterly bulletins that include the most recent quarter’s Federal Register changes [More information]. There are also other vendors that sell versions of the EAR.
