2020年12月18日に、米国商務省(The US Department of Commerce)は、DJIを、the Export Administration Regulations(EAR)(輸出管理規制）のthe Entity List(supplement no.4 to part 744 of EAR)に追加する決定をしています。「米国の国家安全や海外政策に大きなリスクをもたらす」事業体として認定され、同社が行う貿易取引・米国内での取引について追加の要件(当局の許可）が必要となるようです。決定書には以下のように書かれています。
>The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)) identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The EAR (15 CFR parts 730-774) impose additional license requirements on, and limit the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. The license review policy for each listed entity is identified in the “License review policy” column on the Entity List, and the impact on the availability of license exceptions is described in the relevant Federal Register notice adding entities to the Entity List. BIS places entities on the Entity List pursuant to part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of
the EAR.
DJIを含め、70社超の会社が対象となっていますが、DJIに関する決定には以下のような記載があり、網羅的な事前審査が求められているように読めます。
>All items subject to the EAR. (See §744.11 of the EAR). Case-by-case review for items necessary to detect, identify and treat infectious disease;
>Presumption of denial for all other items subject to the EAR.
