BIS Renews Huawei General License, Adds More Affiliates to Entity List

The Bureau of Industry and Security renewed the temporary general license for Huawei and added 46 more of Huawei’s non-U.S. affiliates to the Entity List. The changes, which take effect Aug. 19, extend the general license’s expiration date from Aug. 19 to Nov. 18 and make several other technical changes to entries on the Entity List, including adding new aliases and addresses.

The export restrictions will continue to apply to all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations and BIS will continue its review policy of presumption of denial. All exports affected by the addition of the 46 Huawei entities may continue to their destination if they were en route on or before Aug. 19, BIS said.
