Export Control List correction — Item 5506

Summary#

This is an erratum (correction) to Order Amending the Export Control List: SOR/2024-112, published in the Canada Gazette. Published July 3, 2024, it fixes a wording mistake in the earlier order that appeared on June 19, 2024 by inserting the item number 5506 into one Export Control List entry.

What it does#

• Removes the original line under section 2 on page 2023 that lacked the list number.
• Replaces it with wording that adds the item number 5506 to the entry titled "Other Strategic Goods and Technology (All Destinations Other than the United States)".
• Keeps the definitions (including Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor (GAAFET) and terms like development, production, software, technology and use) the same as before.

Who's affected#

• Exporters and companies that make, sell, or ship strategic goods and related technology to destinations outside the United States.
• People who apply for or administer export permits tied to the Export Control List under the Export and Import Permits Act (for example, compliance officers and legal advisors).
• If it’s unclear who exactly will be affected in a specific case, exporters should check their licence conditions or ask the permit office.

Why it matters#

• Adding the item number 5506 makes the list entry clearer and reduces risk of confusion when identifying which controls apply.
• That clarity helps exporters and permit reviewers match goods to the right export-control entry, which can avoid permit delays or compliance mistakes.
