Official sources verified through 2026-08-07

5 August U.S.-destination drone measure added; annual catalogues and current measures synchronised

Specified destination: MOFCOM Announcement No. 34 of 2026 adds strict case-by-case review, without licence facilitation, for exports to the United States of listed drones, key components and related technologies.
Customs declaration: GACC Announcement No. 78 of 2026 requires control codes, restriction identifiers and declaration elements for drones and related items, with declaration data consistent with supporting documents.
Dual-use export: official PDF sequences 1–846 are now structured row by row, with the control code, Chinese reference commodity name, complete “item name and description”, and source page for verification.
Import: adds 118 HS entries from the 2026 Import Licence Catalogue. Categories 2–14 apply only when the goods are imported as used machinery or equipment.
Specified destinations: adds 57 precursor-chemical entries under Announcement No. 6 of 2026. The requirement applies only to the destination groups named in the announcement.
Technology: implements the 2025 No. 28 adjustment: three deletions, an amendment to 083201X, and new item 252604X. The current index has 23 prohibited and 109 restricted technologies.

This page counts measures indexed by the product or technology itself. Entity-specific measures such as Announcement No. 30 of 2026 belong in the entity-list database and are not double-counted here.MOFCOM 2026 announcement index ↗

Matched something? Here's what to do next.

Complete the decision factsA name match is not enough. Use the item screening assistant to organise the operating principle, key parameters, direction, destination and end-use, and to generate the questions still open.
Verify the complete official textOpen the linked official announcement or catalogue and check the full item description, technical notes and exclusions — a search match is not a final determination.
Confirm the requirement and retain the recordAssess the item, end-use, end-user and current measures to determine whether a licence or other procedure may apply. Keep the legal basis from the regulation library, and request professional review if the case remains uncertain.

Use & disclaimer: this tool turns the official catalogues into a searchable index for quick location only; it is not legal advice. Whether a licence is required, the exact control parameters, and the final determination are governed solely by the current official catalogues and the authorities' interpretation: Import Licence Catalogue → MOFCOM/GACC Announcement No. 88 of 2025; Export Licence Catalogue → MOFCOM; Dual-Use Catalogue → MOFCOM Export Control Information Network; destination-specific precursor chemicals → 2026 Announcement No. 6 by MOFCOM and four other authorities; current temporary measure → MOFCOM/GACC Announcement No. 29 of 2026. U.S.-destination drone measure → MOFCOM Announcement No. 34 of 2026. drone export declaration requirements → GACC Announcement No. 78 of 2026 (official MOFCOM explainer). prohibited/restricted technologies → the 2023 No. 57 baseline as modified by the 2025 No. 28 adjustment. prohibited import/export products → MOFCOM Announcement No. 63 of 2023. Product names are given in the official Chinese (the authoritative form). The 2026 dual-use export-control list is structured in full across official sequences 1–846: every record includes its control code, Chinese reference commodity name and complete official “item name and description”; commodity code and unit are included where the official row supplies them. Categories 2–14 of the Import Licence Catalogue apply only to used machinery or equipment. The destination-specific precursor catalogue does not automatically apply to other destinations. Any commodity code shown is for search or customs-declaration reference and may map to several control codes — always verify the product description and official text. Last verified 2026-08-07.A match means further verification is needed; no match never means the item is uncontrolled.Reference commodity names and commodity codes support search and customs-declaration work; they do not replace comparison against the technical description. The official catalogue itself leaves commodity code or unit blank for software, technology and some items. The annual Export Licence and Dual-Use catalogues hold 2,083 raw index records, including one fully duplicate row; deduplication across all indexed fields produces 2,082 independent entries. Separately indexed are 118 Import Licence HS entries, 57 destination-specific precursor-chemical entries, 1 destination-specific drone measure, 4 prohibited import/export product groups, 132 currently prohibited/restricted technologies and 1 current temporary measure — 2,395 index records in total. These counts do not represent unique controlled items.

Practical verification checklist

Scope · evidence · decision trail

Use the steps below to review this page. Verify the complete official text before making a decision. Seek qualified advice when needed.

Define the decision
State the exact decision, owner, deadline, trade direction and required evidence. Do this before you search.
Identify every party
Confirm each legal name and alias. Check registration, ownership, control, intermediaries, carriers, banks and beneficial owners.
Describe the item
Record the item’s function, operating principle, material, model and performance. Include software, technology, accessories and decisive parameters.
Check classification
Treat customs and export-control classification as separate tasks. Keep the facts, assumptions and reasoning for each result.
Map the route
Confirm origin, departure, destination and transit points. Include re-export, remote access, technology transfer and each delivery path.
Verify end use
Identify the stated purpose and real operating environment. Check integration, sensitive sectors, military links and prohibited uses.
Verify end users
Check the purchaser, consignee, end user, operator and parent company. Identify anyone who can redirect or control the item.
Read the complete source
Treat a search result as a lead. Read the official scope, definitions, notes, exclusions, annexes and licence conditions.
Check current measures
Use the version effective on the transaction date. Review later notices, temporary controls, destination measures and policy changes.
Test exceptions carefully
Prove every condition before using an exception or exemption. Apply the same rule to licence facilitation and general authorisations.
Resolve contradictions
Pause when names, codes, documents, routes, prices or explanations conflict. Obtain evidence instead of filling gaps with assumptions.
Escalate uncertainty
Send unresolved questions to the compliance owner or a qualified adviser. This includes classification, ownership, use, destination and licensing.
Keep an audit trail
Keep source links, files, checksums, screenshots, search terms and results. Record the reviewer, approvals and final reasoning.
Schedule re-checks
Set a new review date for open transactions. Re-check changing parties, destinations, specifications, official lists and licences.
