According to an analysis by Mondaq, the Trump Administration has reportedly submitted a budget request for FY2027 that includes a 91.5% increase for the BIS. The stated goal is to strengthen export controls, while reducing guidance and technical assistance. The phrase "More Guards, No Guides" captures the shift: more inspectors and audits, but less support for exporters. It is worth noting that the information comes from secondary sources and not from an official published document.

The BIS administers the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which governs exports, re-exports, and transfers of dual-use goods and sensitive technologies. In recent years, the trend has been toward tighter controls, especially on emerging technologies. If enacted, this budget increase would deepen that trend and could signal new rules or a surge in resources for investigations and penalties.
