The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a final rule that, effective Oct. 8, added 29 entities to the Entity List, including 19 in China, nine in Türkiye, and one in the United Arab Emirates.
For all newly-listed entities BIS is imposing a license requirement for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. Applications for such licenses will be reviewed under a policy of presumption of denial. BIS notes that Entity List license requirements and other restrictions also apply to any foreign entity that is owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more listed entities.
BIS states that 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 Oct. 8 pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer to or within a foreign destination may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility provided the transaction is completed no later than Nov. 7.
