【Catch-all Controls🌏】Security Trade Controls Focusing Exclusively on End-Users and End-Uses✨: STC Advanced Exam Preparation No. 40
Review of the previous session🔏
Value your reviews and make sure to keep the
knowledge you've input firmly in your memory!
Catch-all Controls (1)🔥
We received an order for 10 crane trucks, which fall under Item 16 of Appended Table 1 of the Export Order, from Company X in Iran (concern categories: chemical, missile), which is listed on the Foreign End-User List.
The concern category on the Foreign End-User List and the concern use of the crane trucks match for missiles, and the intended use was also ambiguous.
In this case, it meets the end-user requirement, so an export license application based on the WMD catch-all controls is required.
【Answer Choices】
①Correct
②Incorrect
Answer: ①Correct⭕
The concern category for
Company X in Iran, which is on the Foreign End-User List, is
“chemical, missile,” and the concern use of the ordered
crane trucks matches for missile and
the intended use is ambiguous, so it falls under (1) and (17) of the Clarification Guidelines, and an export license application based on the WMD catch-all controls is required.
End-use requirements for WMD catch-all controls💛
Material manufacturer X in Tokyo received an order for 10 tons of carbon fiber, which falls under Item 16 of Appended Table 1 of the Export Order, from Company Y in the Middle East, stating, “We want to build an intercontinental ballistic missile.”
In this case, it does not meet the end-use requirement for WMD catch-all controls.
【Answer Choices】
① Correct
② Incorrect
Answer: ②Incorrect❌
Since they have communicated that they
“want to build an intercontinental ballistic missile,”
it meets the end-use requirement of Article 1 of the Ministerial Ordinance on Development of Nuclear Weapons, etc.📝

End-user requirement or end-use requirement?🔍
Trading company X in Osaka received an order for 2,000 centrifuges, which fall under Item 16 of Appended Table 1 of the Export Order, from Company Y in Pakistan.
When trading company X obtained credit investigation information on Company Y, it stated that they had been involved in the development of nuclear weapons in the past.
Furthermore, when trading company X confirmed the intended use of the centrifuges, they were refused an explanation.
In this case, it meets the end-use requirement for WMD catch-all controls.
【Answer Choices】
① Correct
② Incorrect
Answer: ② Incorrect❌
Since the credit investigation information for Company Y stated that they had
been involved in the development of nuclear weapons in the past,
the end-user requirement is the issue for Company Y.
Furthermore, since they refused to explain the intended use,
it falls under (1) of the Clarification Guidelines, and
trading company X must apply for an export license.
【Review】 What are catch-all controls?
Catch-all controls were introduced after the Gulf War when inspections by the UN and others revealed that Iraq had been developing WMDs using products that did not fall under the list controls.
Unlike list controls, they are controls that focus exclusively on end-users and end-uses.
Therefore, unlike list controls, an export license application is not immediately required just because the cargo or technology falls under Item 16 of Appended Table 1 of the Export Order (Appended Table of the Foreign Exchange Order).
As shown below, an application is required if it meets either the objective requirements or the inform requirements.
Currently, (1) WMD catch-all controls and (2) Conventional weapons catch-all controls are being implemented.
Since catch-all controls supplement list controls, they are also called supplementary export controls.
That is all for today's output!
