SNAP-R Updates


As part of our ongoing efforts to improve electronic submissions on the Simplified Network Application Process – Redesign (SNAP-R), BIS is implementing more of your suggestions. SNAP-R is BIS’s electronic system to submit license applications, commodity classification requests, and other requests. This latest round of updates is designed to make the SNAP-R system more user-friendly and to limit the time and effort that applicants spend using SNAP-R.

The new updates to SNAP-R that are taking effect May 14, 2018 are the following:

Login Help:

You told us you sometimes needed SNAP-R help before logging into the SNAP-R system. DONE!

New “Contact Person” field in the “List Work Items” page:

You asked to see who submitted your company’s work items. DONE!

Telephone and Fax Number Formats (Blocks 2, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20):

You told us you need to enter international telephone numbers and extensions into your SNAP-R contacts and work items. DONE!

Increased Character Limits:

You asked us to increase the amount of information you could enter into export data fields and information sub-fields. DONE!

  1. Party/Entity Names and Addresses (Blocks 14 – 20): We increased the character fields for purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, original ultimate consignee, and end users from 35 to 80.
  1. Specific End User (Block 21): We increased the character limit from 250 to 1440, and added a character counter to show how many characters have been used.
  1. Technical Description (Block 22.j): We increased the character limit from 250 to 1440, and added a character counter to show how many characters have been used.
  1. Additional Information (Block 24):       We increased the character limit from 250 to 1440, and added a character counter to show how many characters have been used.

The SNAP-R system cannot accept foreign characters in party names and addresses or in the filenames of uploaded files. Acceptable characters are Aa to Zz; 0 to 9; space, underscore (_); and hyphen (-).
