BIS Adds Five Chinese Computing Companies to Entity List

Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security added five Chinese computing companies to its Entity List, requiring licenses for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations with a review policy of presumption of denial. The entities are: Chengdu Haiguang Integrated Circuit, Chengdu Haiguang Microelectronics Technology, Higon, Sugon and Wuxi Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology.

Commerce also modified an existing entry to China’s National University of Defense Technology to include one alias (Hunan Guofang Keji University) and four updated locations. The changes take effect June 24. All shipments now requiring a license as a result of this announcement that were aboard a carrier to a port as of that date may proceed to its destination under the previous eligibility for license exception.
