    Canada amends Export Control List to add five controls on quantum computing and advanced semiconductors

    Global Affairs Canada states in Notice to exporters No. 1129 that an Order Amending the Export Control List, approved on May 31, 2024, adds five new controls under Item 5506 covering quantum computers able to process quantum information in 34 or more physical qubits, circuits and devices specially designed for them, CryoCMOS integrated circuits operating at 4.5 Kelvin or below, technology for semiconductor devices using GAAFET structures, equipment for isotropic and anisotropic dry etching, and advanced Scanning Electron Microscope equipment. As of July 20, 2024, a permit is required to export these items from Canada, except to the United States.

    Why it matters: From July 20, 2024, exporters of the five items added under Item 5506 need a permit to ship them from Canada, except to the United States.
