Summary

The Export-Import Bank is updating its form for U.S. small businesses that export goods and want special credit limits for foreign buyers. They’re asking for public comments by May 1, 2026, to help reduce paperwork and make sure the credit info is clear and fair. This update mainly affects exporters applying for new credit limits and aims to keep things smooth and efficient.

Updated SBCL Form for New Exporters

If you are a U.S. business exporting goods or services and are applying for a Special Buyer Credit Limit (SBCL) using form EIB 92-51, EXIM estimates 2,000 new applicants will each spend about 30 minutes completing the form, for an annual total burden of 1,000 hours. EXIM says the form was updated to reduce paperwork and respondent burden and now counts only new applicants in that estimate.

Automatic Renewals Cut Paperwork

If you are a renewing SBCL policyholder, EXIM automatically processes renewals in the Exim Online (EOL) system so renewing policyholders do not have to manually complete an application. This reduces paperwork for renewing exporters.
