Direct answer
Export Controls, in this uncertainty analysis, is limited to the following inspected scope. The EAR organizes U.S. dual-use export controls through classifications, destinations, end uses, end users, license requirements, and exceptions. GAO describes the 2022–2023 advanced-semiconductor controls, later updates, and reported compliance challenges including rule frequency and complexity. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
