BIS to Add 24 Entities to Entity List

The Bureau of Industry and Security will add 24 companies to the Entity List for aiding Russia’s military, supplying export-controlled items to Iran or for supporting Pakistan’s nuclear activities. The additions include entities located in Latvia, Pakistan, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. BIS also removed one company from the Entity List.

All added entities will require a license for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations. BIS will review license applications under a review policy of denial or presumption of denial, with some entities eligible for certain case-by-case reviews, including for food and medicine. The additions take effect Dec. 8.
