In a final rule, effective February 3, 2026, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) made a conforming change to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reflect that Cambodia is no longer a Country Group D:5 country. The removal of Cambodia from ITAR § 126.1 meant that no such restrictions applied. In order to avoid confusion on the part of exporters, reexporters, and transferors over differences between the list of countries subject to an arms embargo in both regulations, this final rule deletes the ‘‘X’’ designation for Cambodia from Country Group D:5. Cambodia will remain designated in Country Group D:1 in supplement no. 1 to part 740 and the restrictions for Cambodia related to military and military-intelligence end uses and end users listed in §§ 744.21 and 744.22 of the EAR will also remain in place.
