On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, the President signed a new law called H.R. 1316, also called the “Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act.” This law makes sure that the government keeps track of important products that are sent to other countries. Some products can be used for regular business, but they can also be used for defense and security. These are called dual-use items.
Some examples of these products are computers, drones, satellites, special software, chemicals, and high-tech sensors. By keeping track of these items, the law helps protect America and make sure products don’t end up in the wrong hands. It also helps American businesses follow the rules and trade safely with other countries.
This law is important because it keeps Americans safe, helps our country stay strong, and makes sure our products are used the right way. It’s a smart step for keeping America safe while still helping businesses grow.
