U.S. amendments to Export Administration Regulations (EAR) entity list (China and Japan)

Determined by the U.S. government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States

Determined to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Commerce Department today released for publication in the Federal Register a final rule amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 36 entities to the entity list.

According to the final rule [PDF 326 KB], the entities have been determined by the U.S. government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States and will be listed on the entity list under the destinations of China and Japan.

The rule also revises three entries on the entity list under the destination of China.

Lastly, as a conforming change to the addition of one entity to the entity list under the destination of China, the final rule removes this entity from the unverified list (UVL). The entity is being added to the entity list for reasons not related to the prevention of an end-use check and is removed from the UVL for consistency with the existing policy of not listing an entity on more than one of these lists at the same time.

The final rule is effective tomorrow, December 16, 2022.
