The Department of Commerce has approved the duty-free entry of specific scientific instruments for Rice University and the University of Chicago, as announced in the Federal Register. Rice University plans to use a Signal Acquisition ASCI from LiMicro, China, to research neural connections in animals, as there are no equivalent instruments manufactured in the U.S. The University of Chicago will utilize a White Dwarf Optimal Parametric Amplifier System from Class 5 Photonics, Germany, for various experiments involving nanostructured materials and electronic transitions. No public comments were received regarding these applications.

The International Trade Administration of the Commerce Department issued a decision regarding the University of Chicago's application to import a scientific instrument, specifically a Fiber Laser Amplifier from China, duty-free. The application, filed under docket number 23-018, was denied because the university did not show that equivalent instruments were unavailable in the United States. The regulation requires denial of applications if they are not resubmitted within a certain timeframe after being denied without prejudice, which was applicable here. The decision was signed by Gregory W. Campbell, Director of Subsidies and Economic Analysis.
