A final rule reflects amendments to EAR by adding 33 persons to “unverified list”

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), of the U.S. Commerce Department, today released for publication in the Federal Register a final rule that reflects amendments to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 33 persons to the “unverified list.”

The “unverified list” contains the names and addresses of foreign persons who are or have been parties to a transaction involving the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of items subject to the EAR, and 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.

Today’s final rule [PDF 287 KB] explains that the 33 persons are added to the unverified list on the basis that BIS was unable to verify their bona fides because an end-use check could not be completed satisfactorily for reasons outside the U.S. government’s control.

The final rule is effective February 8, 2022 (the date of its publication in the Federal Register).
