BIS Adds 8 Entities to Entity List, Issues Corrections, Removals
The Bureau of Industry and Security added eight entities to the Entity List for their involvement in nuclear proliferation activities and issued several other revisions, one correction and one removal from the Entity List and Military End User List. The eight entities, located in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, include laboratory equipment providers, engineering companies and electronics makers. They will face a license requirement for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations, and BIS will impose a license review policy of presumption of denial. No license exceptions will be available. The changes take effect June 1.
BIS also removed Pakistan-based IKAN Engineering Services from the Entity List and China-based Molecular Devices Shanghai Corp. from the MEU List. The agency said it received requests from both entities to be removed from the lists but didn’t provide more information.
BIS also revised an entry for China-based DJI by revising its license requirement column to include certain EAR99 technology used to operate, maintain or repair certain unmanned aerial vehicles. The agency also revised the entry for China-based Seajet Company Ltd. by adding identifying information, corrected the entry name for China State Shipbuilding Corp., Ltd. (CSSC) 750th Test Center, and revised the name of the entry for Chongqing Optel Telecom Technology Co., Ltd. on the MEU List.
All exports and reexports that now require a license as a result of the Entity List additions and that were aboard a carrier to a port as of June 1 may proceed to their destinations under the previous eligibility, BIS said.

- Hassan Scientific Corp.
- Mecatech (Private) Ltd.
- Middle East Automation & Controls Services
- Mirza and Co.
- Techno-Commercial
- TELEC Electronics & Machinery (Pvt) Ltd.
- Delta Engineering Concern FZE
