Webinar THURSDAY: Preventing Shipments to Russia and Other Bad Actors

Thursday | May 25 | 1:30 PM Eastern | Register Today 

Please join us at 1:30pm EDT May 25th for a webinar with Matt Axelrod, Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement with the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). This is a “Can’t Miss” event as Mr. Axelrod will be sharing the latest intelligence on tactics used by Russia to subvert US export controls on electronic components to support their missile and UAV programs in support of their unprovoked and unlawful invasion of Ukraine.  

BIS has identified U.S.-origin or branded electronics recovered from the Ukrainian battlefield that Russia is reliant upon. BIS is working collectively with partners across the globe like ECIA to highlight these HS-9 codes to industry and ask that exporters place extra scrutiny on their customers to prevent diversion through third countries to Russia. BIS will highlight specific red flags for ECIA companies to look for potential diversion activity.

GIPC Launches 2D Barcode Review

ECIA’s 2D Barcode Specification published its last revision in 2018 to continue guiding the industry on the use and value of this technology for product identification labeling. Concurrent with the publication of the specification, ECIA launched new initiatives to promote the use of this technology throughout the electronic component channel. Over the last decade, there has been widespread adoption, substantially improving the efficiency of the end-to-end order process.  

The GIPC began the 5-year review process on May 11, 2023, which consists of reviewing and updating the entire 44-page document line by line. The SME (Subject Matter Expert) work group includes nearly 20 companies representing a broad range of ECIA member component distributors and manufacturers. They will meet bi-weekly until the task is complete. Once the specification is updated, it will be submitted to ECIA’s standards team to convert the specification into an official industry standard.
