The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a final rule that, effective Feb. 27, made the following adjustments to the Entity List.
- Two entities under seven entries (in Canada, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates) have been added: one for diverting U.S.-origin items to a restricted entity, and the other for supplying technology to Egypt used for censorship and surveillance. For these entities BIS is imposing a license requirement for exports of all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations and a license application review policy of presumption of denial.
- Two entities in China have been modified to add aliases.
- One entity in the UAE have been removed.
Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a license exception or for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this rule that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, reexport, or transfer on Feb. 27 pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer to or within a foreign destination may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility before March 28. Any such items not actually exported, reexported, or transferred before midnight on March 28 will require a license in accordance with this rule.
