The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a final rule that, effective Sept. 12, added 32 entities to the Entity List, including 23 in China, three in Türkiye, two in the United Arab Emirates, and one each in India, Iran, Singapore, and Taiwan. This rule also amends 27 existing Entity List entries to correct typographical errors.
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 denial or presumption of denial. In addition, some entities are being added to the Entity List with a designation meaning that “items subject to the EAR” includes foreign-produced items.
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 Sept. 12 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 Oct. 14.
