without action.
Removed/added instruction verbiage under
Details:
Enter the details regarding the specific
purpose of the proposed transaction. Provide
a complete account of the specific purpose of
the requested temporary import. Simply
stating, "For use in military exercise," "for
transshipment," or “for space launch” is
inadequate. In order to provide rationale for
the review and final U.S. Government
determination, the specific details in this
block should describe the intended uses, endusers, and end-use platforms of the
commodities involved in the transaction.
Additionally, specify if this is for a space
launch occurring from the United States and
reference any broader authorizations (e.g.
technical assistance agreements) this
transaction relates to. If applicable, list the
RWA license number.
Added instruction verbiage under newly
added End-Use System/Platform field:
List the systems and/or platforms for which
the commodity will be used on, in, or with (as
described in the Details section of this block).
All intended end-use systems and/or
platforms must be identified. If the
commodity is a system, identify the end-use
platforms. If the commodity is a component
or part, then identify both the end-use system
and platform. For example, if the commodity
is a component/part going into a remote
weapons system (RWS) which will in turn be
installed on an armored vehicle, then both the
RWS and the vehicle must be listed. If a
commodity itself is the end-use platform (e.g.,
a night vision goggle), then list the
commodity.

Ultimate Destination was swapped with
Block 20 Foreign Intermediate Consignee
Edited instruction verbiage under Name for
clarity:

Enter the full legal name of the foreign
intermediate consignee. Do not include
“subsidiary of” statements, partial address or
location clarifiers, or go-by names in the
Name field, unless those are part of the legal
name. A foreign intermediate consignee is an
entity who will receive the goods for onward
movement to the foreign consignee or foreign
end-user without actually taking title to the
goods. This includes foreign freight
forwarders, customs brokers, agents or
representatives, and brokers as defined in 22
CFR 129(a). The foreign intermediate
consignee may or may not be in the same
country as the foreign consignee or foreign
end-user. Note that foreign government
entities must be identified, at a minimum, to
the ministry-level equivalent (e.g., “Ministry
of Defense of Lilliput”). Applications that
only state “Government of (Country)” may be
returned without action.
• Added instruction under newly added Role
field:
Enter a description of the role the foreign
intermediate consignee has in this transaction.
