Entity List (EL) - Bureau of Industry and Security

BIS Export Control

Non-Proliferation

Other export restrictions

The BIS Entity List has evolved into a formidable administrative enforcement tool that imposes a license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers of some or all items subject to the EAR to listed foreign entities. Those on the BIS Entity List were placed there because there is reasonable cause to believe they have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy, such as WMD programs, destabilizing accumulations of conventional weapons, terrorism, or enabling human rights abuses. These license requirements are in addition to any license requirements imposed on the transaction by other provisions of the EAR. As a general rule, BIS generally applies a presumption of denial for license applications involving listed entities. The Entity List thereby serves as an incentive for listed foreign parties to implement effective export management compliance programs to stop the diversion of U.S.-origin items to unauthorized destinations, uses, or users, thereby providing a basis for removal. General Orders also may restrict exports to named individuals or entities. For General Orders, see Supplement No. 1 of Part 736 of the EAR. For guidance concerning the license application review policy applicable to a particular entity, please review that individual or organization’s entry on the list. Listed entities may request removal from the Entity List by submitting a petition pursuant to Section 744.16 and Supplement 5 to Part 744 of the EAR.
