Are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) eligible for License Exception AGR?
Whether or not an item is genetically modified does not affect its eligibility for License Exception AGR. If an item is both an agricultural commodity and EAR99, it is eligible. Note that certain GMOs are classified on the CCL under ECCN 1C353 and are not eligible for License Exception AGR or OFAC's expedited review procedures. In addition, genetically modified materials that are not within the definition of agricultural commodity (see question 2 above) are not eligible. Technology for production of genetically modified organisms is not eligible.
