The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a final rule that, effective Feb. 10, added six entities in China to the Entity List for their support to China’s military modernization efforts, specifically the People’s Liberation Army’s aerospace programs, including airships and balloons and related materials and components.
For these six entities BIS is imposing a license requirement for exports of all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. BIS will review applications for such licenses under a presumption of denial.
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. 10 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 13. Any such items not actually exported, reexported, or transferred before midnight on March 13 will require a license in accordance with this rule.
For more information on restrictions on exports to persons on the Entity List or other lists, please contact Kristine Pirnia at (202) 730-4964 or via email.
