Effective Jan. 19 the Bureau of Industry and Security has removed three entities (one each in Canada, China, and the United Arab Emirates) from the Unverified List because BIS was able to verify their bona fides.
This rule lifts the suspension of license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) involving these entities and eliminates the requirement for exporters, reexporters, and transferors of goods subject to the Export Administration Regulations but not requiring a license to these entities to obtain (and keep a record of) a UVL statement from them before proceeding with the transaction.
The UVL contains the names and addresses of foreign entities that are or have been parties to a transaction involving the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of items subject to the EAR whose bona fides (i.e., legitimacy and reliability relating to the end-use and end-user of items subject to the EAR) BIS has been unable to verify through an end-use check. BIS may place entities on the UVL when there is insufficient evidence to place them on the Entity List.
