BIS to Add 47 Entities to Entity List
The Bureau of Industry and Security plans to add 47 entities to its Entity List for “acting contrary” to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. The additions include entities in Canada, China, Hong Kong, Iran, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. BIS designated the entities for a range of illegal procurement and nuclear-related activities, including sending nuclear-related items and other products to Iran. BIS will also correct four existing entries under China.

The agency will impose a license requirement for exports to 39 of the 47 entities for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations with a license review policy of presumption of denial. For the remaining entities, BIS will impose its “nuclear end-user and end-use based” license review policy. The changes take effect Sept. 22.
