  • 2020-29037 — Implementation in the Export Administration Regulations of the United States' Rescission of Sudan's Designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 4929
    Reading Time:about 40 minutes

    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.

  • 2025-00770 — Extension of the Designation of Sudan for Temporary Protected Status
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 5944
    Reading Time:about 42 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Sudanese nationals for 18 months, from April 20, 2025, to October 19, 2026. This extension allows current TPS beneficiaries to continue living and working in the U.S. by re-registering during the specified period. The decision is based on the ongoing armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in Sudan, making it unsafe for people to return. Sudanese TPS beneficiaries must timely re-register to maintain their status and may also renew their employment authorization documents.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government is letting people from Sudan who are already here stay and work for another 18 months because their home country isn't safe, and they need to sign up again to keep this special permission.

These measures are under Executive Order 14098, targeting persons undermining Sudan's democratic transition.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government made a list of people and a company they think are causing trouble in Sudan, and they are not allowed to do business with anyone in the U.S. They want to make sure these people can't use their things in the U.S. to keep the trouble from getting worse.
