General Authorization for Export of Drones simplifies export controls for short range, light payload UAVs subject to strict end use and reporting conditions. Proposed amendments exempt from SCOMET Category 5B certain short-range, light-payload unmanned aerial vehicles (excluding software and technology) and introduce a General Authorization for Export of Drones (GAED). GAED requires online application with ANF 2O, technical specifications, signed End-Use Certificates from all supply-chain entities, an undertaking permitting inspections and restricting end-use, and contractual proof of permitted use prior to export. Post-authorization obligations include quarterly notifications, three years of post-shipment reporting, five years of record-keeping, and compliance measures including penalties, suspension or revocation for proliferation, sanctions, or non-compliance.
