New BIS Guidance Continues Trend of Enhanced EAR Compliance Expectations for Financial Institutions

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) issued new guidance (“BIS Guidance”) for financial institutions (“FIs”) on October 9, 2024, recommending that FIs undertake specific compliance practices to minimize their risk of violating General Prohibition (“GP”) 10 of BIS’s Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”).  GP 10 prohibits any person (U.S. or otherwise) from selling, transferring, exporting, reexporting, financing, ordering, buying, removing, concealing, storing, using, loaning, disposing of, transporting, forwarding, or otherwise servicing an item “subject to the EAR” with knowledge that that item was, or will be, exported, reexported, or transferred in violation of the EAR.  Knowledge in this context goes beyond actual knowledge, and can be inferred from circumstances surrounding a transaction; in other words, a “known or should have known” standard.  Although BIS has published several joint alerts with FinCEN encouraging financial institutions to look for potential red flags of evasion of export controls, this guidance goes further in establishing specific export compliance best practices for financial institutions and suggests that financial institutions that finance or otherwise service prohibited exports risk liability under the EAR.
