9/24/2001  President Bush has announced the lifting of the sanctions imposed upon India & Pakistan in exchange for their support and cooperation with the US war against terrorism.  This action will have little impact on OOT products, as most are already authorized into to India and Pakistan; however, the action will probably allow renewed export of EFIs (ECCN 3A232) and EFI controllers (ECCN 3A229) into India.  OCS will post additional information here regarding the lifting of sanctions as soon as more details become available.  For a review of the sanctions that will be lifted, please see the India/Pakistan section of the Export Control Page.

4/11/2001  We discovered that the n.e.w. on 40 casing cutters was misreported in HAZLIST On-line.  Most of these cutters were reported with an n.e.w. of 45 grams, when they actually contain more than 45 grams of explosive.  Click here to download a list (XLS) of affected part numbers and their correct n.e.w.   This correction will be reflected in the next publication of HAZLIST PDF files at the end of the month.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

02/13/2001 -- DOT-E 8451  has been revised (OOT and OTI PTE status).  Obtain the 24th Rev. on the Exemptions Page and discard all previous versions.

02/07/2001 -- NR Canada has revised its original transport classification of OOT STIM™ products.  Originally classified as UN0278/1.4C, on 2/6/01, pursuant to UN testing completed on the productfamily, Canada reclassified these items to  UN1489/5.1.  This revision makes the Canadian transport classification of OOT STIM™ consistent with their US and export classifications.  

This revision affects transport classification only.  For other purposes, these items remain in Canadian explosives class 2 and as such, import permits and magazine storage licenses are required; however, transport into and throughout Canada under UN1489/5.1 is now authorized. 

Additionally, combined shipments of 5.1 and class 1 on the same motor vehicle may affect current perforating industry placarding exemptions issued as Equivalent Level of Safety Permits by Transport Canada.
