The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S.
Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule that expands the Entity List by adding six entities in the People's Republic of China (PRC), South Africa, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the United Kingdom. These additions, available here and effective upon publication, are designed to prevent entities that. The reasons that BIS cited for the addition of the new entities include: Their contribution to China's quantum technology capabilities and military modernization efforts; Acquisition of U.S.
origin-items for diversion to parties on the Entity List (specifically, for diversion to major Chinese chipmaker SMIC). The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on March 26, 2025, added over 80 entities to the Entity List from China, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), citing activities contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy.
According to the BIS release, these measures aim to restrict the Chinese government's ability to acquire. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) made 32 additions to the Entity List last week, hitting China's advanced tech sectors with further export controls as high-level trade talks between the two countries continue. Friday's expansion, the first since March, focused on facilitators of China's military capabilities, as well as third.
On September 12, 2025, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule announcing additions to the Entity List. 32 new entities across China, India, Iran, Singapore, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been added to the Entity List due to activities deemed contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a final rule adding 32 entities to the Entity List and revising dozens of existing entries, effective September 12, 2025 (publication slated for September 16). In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 40 entities under 42 entries and four addresses under four entries to the Entity List. These entries are listed on the Entity List under the destinations of China, People's.
In August, October, and November, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) added several People's Republic of China (PRC)-based individuals and entities to its Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List, 1 bringing the list's total to 107 entities. First, on August 8, 2024, DHS announced the addition of five entities based in the PRC engaged in the following businesses. These risks include associations with parties on the Entity List or the Unverified List at the listed addresses." Adding only addresses to the Entity List -- and not a company name -- is a new BIS strategy to target shell companies that frequently change their name to avoid export controls (see 2406120036).
