The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a new rule adding 16 entities to the Entity List because they are involved in activities against U.S. national security or foreign policy interests. These entities, mostly located in China and a couple in Singapore, are contributing to the development of advanced computing technology that could be used for military and surveillance purposes. As a result, they are now subject to additional licensing requirements for exporting, reexporting, or transferring items covered by U.S. regulations. This rule is effective from January 16, 2025, and was enacted without a prior proposal due to its relevance to national security.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) within the Department of Commerce has issued a final rule that amends the Export Administration Regulations by adding 12 new entities to the Entity List. These entities, primarily from China and one from Taiwan, are suspected of activities that go against U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, such as supporting military modernization efforts with the use of advanced artificial intelligence and supercomputing technologies. This amendment requires a specific license for any exports, reexports, or in-country transfers involving these entities, with a general policy of denying these licenses. The rule became effective on March 25, 2025.
