Secure E-Waste Export and Recycling Act

A near‑blanket ban on exporting electronic waste to stop counterfeit and military‑sensitive parts from reentering U.S. supply chains. This bill would set a new regulatory system that forbids export or reexport of most used electronics, while allowing narrow, documented exceptions for tested working items, reclaimed feedstock, and repaired recalled devices. It would require exporters to register publicly, file detailed export records in the Automated Export System, and certify testing and consignee competence. The Secretary of Commerce would write testing rules and amend the Export Administration Regulations to implement the law. - Businesses that refurbish, recycle, or export used electronics would need to register, keep testing records, and submit detailed Automated Export System filings before sending exempted items abroad. - U.S. military and civilian technology supply chains would get tighter protections because the bill targets diversion of e‑waste into counterfeit or falsely labeled military components. - Individuals shipping small quantities for personal use could export up to 20 items with Secretary‑approved recordkeeping and limits. Penalties for violations follow existing Export Administration Regulations enforcement.
