[Cox Report Recommendations] 15. Current licensing procedures should be modified to streamline the process and provide greater transparency, predictability, and certainty. (Recommendation 32)
Support. The country tiering approach is intended to provide differentiation between end user risk and product risk. This differentiation will allow the Administration to minimize the controls on items and users with lower risk and maximize the controls on items and users with higher risk. The differentiation will also increase the transparency of the system, providing the exporter more information about the prospects of a potential license application.
