To amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to prevent the People's Republic of China from exploiting items such as black mass and certain other products produced in the United States.

This bill adds export controls for specific battery recycling materials ("black mass" and "swarf") to prevent their export to China and other designated foreign adversaries. It requires U.S. exporters to obtain licenses for these materials when the end-user is a foreign adversary (including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba), with automatic license denial for China. "Black mass" is defined as processed material from spent lithium-ion batteries containing lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and graphite, excluding intact batteries. The law directly affects U.S. companies exporting these materials and Chinese entities seeking to import them.
