On January 15, 2025, former President Joseph Biden issued a memorandum to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) determining it was in the foreign policy interest of the United States to expand and extend the deferral of removal of certain Hong Kong residents present in the United States through February 5, 2027, and to provide them with employment authorization documentation. This notice provides information about Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for eligible Hong Kong residents and how eligible individuals may apply for DED-based Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) with USCIS, as well as for travel authorization.
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA), is organizing the Design & Construction Trade Mission to Hong Kong, Taipei, and Ho Chi Minh City.

The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is adding regulations to implement a July 14, 2020, Hong Kong-related Executive order. OFAC intends to supplement these regulations with a more comprehensive set of regulations, which may include additional interpretive and definitional guidance, general licenses, and statements of licensing policy.
In this rule the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to remove the People's Republic of China (PRC or China) Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong from the list of destinations in the EAR. The amendments implement Sections 2 and 3 of Executive Order 13936 of July 14, 2020, in response to new security measures imposed on Hong Kong by the government of China. These new measures fundamentally undermine Hong Kong's autonomy increasing the risk sensitive U.S. technology and items will be diverted to unauthorized end uses and end users in China.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to suspend the availability of all License Exceptions for Hong Kong that provide differential treatment as compared to those available to the People's Republic of China (PRC). As announced on BIS's website on June 30, 2020, these License Exceptions are no longer available for exports and reexports to Hong Kong, and transfers within Hong Kong, of all items subject to the EAR. BIS is taking this action as part of revised U.S. policy toward Hong Kong in response to the newly imposed security measures on Hong Kong by the Chinese Communist Party. These new security measures undermine Hong Kong's autonomy and thereby increase the risk that sensitive U.S. technology and items will be illegally diverted to unauthorized end uses and end users in the PRC or to unauthorized destinations such as Iran or North Korea. This rule includes saving clauses for items, including for deemed exports.
