It reverses a clause in a December announcement that in principle denied export licenses for dual-use items containing gallium, germanium, antimony and superhard materials to the U.S. The December announcement also banned exports of dual-use items to U.S. military users or for military purposes and implemented stricter reviews for graphite exports.
