U.S. BIS removes entity, aliases from Entity List
Entities do not pose a significant risk to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce today issued a final rule removing one entity and six aliases associated with a different entity from the Entity List under the destination of China. This decision follows a review of additional information indicating that these entities do not pose a significant risk to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.
The removal was based on commitments to enhance export compliance measures and a review conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC).
Background
The Entity List identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to believe that the entities have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) impose additional license requirements on, and limit the availability of, most license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) when a listed entity is a party to the transaction.
