HR 6058 directs the Secretary of State to build a shared export-control system with allied chip-producing nations, including Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea. The coordination would cover manufacturing equipment, design software, raw materials, and repair services for chip-making tools. Countries that do not cooperate could face expanded U.S. export restrictions or be added to a restricted trade list.
The bill primarily affects U.S. diplomats and trade officials who manage export controls, as well as foreign governments that produce chip-making technology. American semiconductor companies and their overseas suppliers could also be affected if new export restrictions are imposed against non-cooperating countries.
If an ally is found to be under-cooperating, the government must notify Congress within 30 days and convene a review board within 21 days to determine a response. Possible responses include applying the Foreign Direct Product Rule to goods made in non-cooperating countries using American technology, which could disrupt existing trade relationships in the global chip supply chain.
