The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a final rule that, effective Jan. 6, adds 11 entities in China, one in Burma, and one in Pakistan to the Entity List for various reasons, including facilitating human rights violations, supporting China’s military modernization, and contributing to Pakistan’s ballistic missile program. For all of these entities BIS is imposing a license requirement for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations and a license application review policy of 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 Jan. 6 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 Feb. 5. Any such items not actually exported, reexported, or transferred before midnight on Feb. 5 will require a license in accordance with this rule.
