The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is changing how it regulates the export of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, along with their parts, software, and technology.
Why it matters: This change makes it easier and faster for companies to export smaller, shorter-range drones and their related software without needing specific government permission, provided the buyer isn’t a restricted military entity.
Who it affects
- Drone manufacturers and exporters
This is a rule from the Department of Commerce; readers should consult the Federal Register for the full text before making business decisions.
