China’s Ministry of Commerce announced on 19 October 2026 that export controls will be imposed on tunnel boring machines and related dual-use items, while export control measures on dredger-related items will be optimised, with both sets of rules taking effect on 18 November 2026. The ministry said items with clear dual-use nature are covered, that licence applications meeting requirements will be approved, and that the measures follow international practice. Exporters of Chinese heavy construction and dredging equipment should review licensing requirements before the effective date.
