WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Treasury Department has published a list of medical devices requiring “specific authorization” for export to North Korea, a Federal Register notice showed Friday, apparently tightening licensing requirements for the items amid North Korea’s advancing nuclear and missile threats.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) released the list of medical devices that may not be exported or reexported to North Korea under a general license that authorizes the exportation to the North of certain agricultural commodities, medicine and medical devices.<\/p>\n

The items on the new list require specific authorization from the OFAC for exports to North Korea, the office said. The list took effect Thursday.<\/p>\n

The list includes oxygen generators, pumps with flow rates of more than one liter per minute and diagnostic medical imaging equipment, such as gamma imaging, tactile imaging and thermography equipment.<\/p>\n

Also on the list are laboratory items, such as freeze-drying and spray-drying equipment, decontamination showers, laboratory and incubator shakers, and carbon dioxide incubators.<\/p>\n

The licensing requirements could curb the exportation of dual-use items that could be used both for both civilian and military purposes at a time when Pyongyang has been doubling down on its weapons programs in the absence of dialogue with Washington or Seoul on its nuclear program.<\/p>\n
