Export control list

Other export restrictions

The Unverified List (UVL) contains the names and addresses of foreign persons that have been parties or intended parties to transactions subject to the EAR whose bona fides could not be confirmed as a result of an end-use check, including the U.S. Government’s inability to conduct such an end-use check. The presence of a person listed on the Unverified List in a proposed export transaction creates three consequences: all export transactions must be reported in the Automated Export System (AES) (see Section 758.1(b)(8) of the EAR); license exception-eligibility is suspended (see Section 740.2(a)(17) of the EAR); and for all other EAR transactions not subject to a license requirement, the exporter must obtain a statement from the UVL party agreeing to abide by the EAR, including to permit an end-use check prior to export (see Section 744.15 of the EAR). Once BIS confirms the bona fides of the foreign party, including through completion of an end-use check, a party may be removed from the UVL. Similar to the Entity List, the UVL provides an incentive for foreign parties to comply with the EAR, including its end-use check requirements.
