US BIS publishes changes to Entity List

The United States’ Bureau of Industry and Security (‘BIS’) has published a final rule which amends the Entity List (part of the Export Administration Regulations, ‘EAR’).

The rule adds 21 persons under 23 entries to the Entity List. It says:

‘These twenty-one persons will be listed on the Entity List under the destinations of Bulgaria, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). In addition, this rule amends the EAR by removing three entities from the Entity List. This rule removes one entity listed under the destination of Taiwan and two entities listed under the destination of the U.A.E. from the Entity List.’

It points out that all three of the removals are the results of requests for removal that BIS has received. Finally, it says,

‘This final rule modifies two existing entries on the Entity List. This rule modifies one entry under China and one entry under Pakistan to provide additional or modified addresses and/or names for these persons.)
