In a new rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) removed Sudan from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, effective December 14, 2020. This change means Sudan is no longer subject to certain export controls, allowing it to be eligible for more license exceptions. Sudan has been moved from the list of countries supporting terrorism to Country Group B, which makes it easier to export certain U.S. products to Sudan. However, some licensing restrictions remain on specific exports and reexports.
Simple Explanation
The United States has decided that Sudan is not a bad guy country anymore, so they can now trade with the U.S. more easily, but there are still some special rules.
