Export License Required, Application Review Policy of Denial for Listed Persons
BIS' final rule implements the decision of the End-User Review Committee (ERC) to add three entities to the Entity List. Once on the Entity List, a BIS license is required to export, reexport or transfer (in-country) any item subject to the EAR to any of the listed persons, including any transaction in which any of the listed persons will act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end- user of the items; and applications for all such licenses are subject to a presumption of denial. In addition, no license exceptions are available for shipments to those persons being added to the Entity List.
Three Persons in Two Countries Added
BIS' final rule adds the following three entries to the Entity List under three entries, to the following two destination countries:
Canada
Abou El-Khir Al Joundi (aka Abou El Kheir Joundi; aka About Elkhir Al Joundi; aka Abou Joundi Et Kheir; aka Al Joundi; aka Al Jundi; aka Elkheir Aljoundi Abou)
Canada Lab Instruments (aka SCO North America)
Jordan
Masound Est. for Medical and Scientific Supplies
Savings Clause
Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a license exception or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export or reexport, on April 18, 2012, pursuant to actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a license exception or export or reexport without a license (NLR).
1The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to 15 CFR Part 744) provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to parties identified on the Entity List require a license from BIS and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited. A license application review policy of a presumption of denial is also established.
