The Entity List is a US export control list maintained by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), an agency of the Department of Commerce, and published as Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 CFR Part 744. Being listed does not freeze assets or ban trade outright. It imposes a licensing requirement under US [export controls](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/export_controls) law: a license is required, "to the extent specified on the Entity List," to export, reexport, or transfer in-country any item subject to the EAR when a listed entity is a party to the transaction, and license exceptions "may not be used unless authorized in the Entity List entry for the entity that is party to the transaction."[1]

Each entry carries two operative fields. The license requirement column states which items trigger the requirement, usually "for all items subject to the EAR" for the most restricted parties. The license review policy column states how BIS will treat applications, most often a presumption of denial, sometimes case-by-case review, and in some entries a policy of denial. BIS can also attach footnotes that extend a listing to goods manufactured outside the United States. Two companies can therefore both be listed and face very different practical outcomes depending on what those columns say.[1][2]

Since 2019 the Entity List has become the main named-party instrument of US policy toward Chinese computing. [Huawei](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/huawei), [SMIC](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/smic), Sugon, Phytium, Inspur, [Biren](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/biren), [Moore Threads](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/moore_threads), the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, and a large group of domestic semiconductor equipment makers have all been added, alongside surveillance and [facial recognition](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/facial_recognition) firms listed in October 2019 over conduct in Xinjiang rather than anything to do with chips.[6]

## How a listing works

The substantive standard is in 15 CFR 744.11(b). BIS may list an entity where there is "reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entity has been involved, is involved, or poses a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States." The regulation gives illustrative categories: supporting persons engaged in acts of terror, enhancing the military capability of state sponsors of terrorism, transferring or producing conventional weapons in ways contrary to US interests, preventing end-use checks through obstruction or false information, and conduct that creates a risk of EAR violations.[1]

Decisions are made by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). BIS restates its composition in a standing boilerplate paragraph in its listing rules: "The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury, makes decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and makes decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote."[21] The asymmetry matters: a majority adds a company, but every represented department must agree before it comes off. A listed party can petition the ERC chair for removal or modification, and the decision is conveyed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration.[2]

The footnotes are where the Entity List reaches beyond US goods. A footnote designation pulls in the foreign direct product (FDP) rules, which make certain foreign-made items "subject to the EAR" because they were produced using US technology, software, or tooling. Footnote 1 was created for Huawei in 2020, footnote 4 for advanced computing entities in 2022, and footnote 5 for entities tied to advanced-node integrated circuit production in 2024.[7][11][15]

## Origins

The Entity List was created by a Bureau of Export Administration rule effective February 3, 1997, which added Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 and explained that the EAR "provide that the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) may inform exporters, individually or through amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for exports or reexports to certain entities." The supplement opened with a single line: "Ben Gurion University, Israel for computers between 2,000 and 7,000 Mtops."[3] The stated purpose was notice. The supplement made General Prohibition Five, which bars exports to certain end users without a license, concrete and public rather than something exporters learned only through individual notification letters.[3]

Through the late 1990s the list stayed close to its nonproliferation origins. BXA added Pakistan's National Development Centre and India's Indian Rare Earths, Ltd. effective June 30, 1997.[33] Seven Russian entities followed on July 29, 1998, all of them under investigation for suspected export control violations involving weapons of mass destruction and missile technology.[34] The first entities located in China were added effective May 28, 1999: six aerospace, nuclear and spaceflight research organizations, among them the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center and the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology.[35] The additions of that era were proliferation cases, not disputes over commercial technology.

## Huawei and the foreign direct product rule

Effective May 16, 2019, BIS added Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and 68 non-US affiliates in 26 destinations, with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a presumption of denial. The stated basis was an indictment in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on 13 counts, including alleged violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act tied to exports to Iran; the affiliates were added because they "pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States."[4]

Because the Entity List only reaches items subject to the EAR, Huawei could initially still buy chips designed in-house and fabricated abroad. BIS closed that path in two steps. A rule effective May 15, 2020 attached footnote 1 to Huawei and 114 non-US affiliates and amended General Prohibition Three so that foreign-produced items became subject to the EAR when they were the direct product of technology or software developed by a footnote 1 entity, or the direct product of a foreign plant that was itself a direct product of US technology or software. A savings clause let items already in production ship until September 14, 2020.[7] A second rule effective August 17, 2020 added 38 more Huawei entities across 21 destinations and broadened the footnote 1 rule to cover any transaction in which a designated entity participates "as a 'purchaser,' 'intermediate consignee,' 'ultimate consignee,' or 'end-user.'" The temporary general license that had allowed continued support for existing networks was allowed to expire, with a narrow carve-out for cybersecurity research and vulnerability disclosure preserved as footnote 2.[8]

## Semiconductor and AI listings

| Effective | Rule | Notable AI or semiconductor entries | License review policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019-06-24 | 84 FR 29371 | Sugon (a.k.a. Dawning Information Industry), Higon (a.k.a. THATIC), Chengdu Haiguang Integrated Circuit (a.k.a. Hygon), Chengdu Haiguang Microelectronics Technology, Wuxi Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology | Presumption of denial |
| 2019-10-09 | 84 FR 54002 | [Hikvision](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/hikvision), Dahua, [SenseTime](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/sensetime), [Megvii](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/megvii), [iFlytek](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/iflytek), [Yitu](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/yitu), Xiamen Meiya Pico, Yixin Science and Technology; 28 entities | Presumption of denial, case-by-case for specified ECCNs |
| 2020-12-18 | 85 FR 83416 | SMIC and ten affiliates, among 77 entities in 10 countries | Presumption of denial for items uniquely required for production at 10 nm and below, including EUV; case-by-case otherwise |
| 2021-04-08 | 86 FR 18437 | Tianjin Phytium Information Technology, Sunway Microelectronics, Shanghai High-Performance Integrated Circuit Design Center, National Supercomputing Centers at Jinan, Shenzhen, Wuxi and Zhengzhou | Presumption of denial |
| 2023-03-02 | 88 FR 13673 | Inspur Group Co., Ltd. (footnote 4), among 37 entities in 6 countries | Presumption of denial |
| 2023-10-17 | 88 FR 71991 | Seven Biren entities, three Moore Threads entities, and three related firms, all footnote 4 | Presumption of denial |
| 2024-12-02 | 89 FR 96830 | Naura Technology Group, Piotech, ACM Research (Shanghai), Shenzhen SiCarrier, SwaySure, Si'En Qingdao; 140 entities added and 14 modified, nine with footnote 5 | Presumption of denial |
| 2025-03-25 | 90 FR 14046 | Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, six Inspur subsidiaries, Nettrix, Suma Technology; 12 entities | Presumption of denial for two entities, policy of denial for ten |
| 2025-09-12 | 90 FR 44496 | Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics and Sino IC Technology (footnote 4); 32 entities in seven countries | Presumption of denial |

The SMIC entry shows how graded a listing can be. Rather than cutting the foundry off entirely, BIS wrote a node-specific policy: "Presumption of denial for items uniquely required for production of semiconductors at advanced technology nodes (10 nanometers and below, including extreme ultraviolet technology); Case by case for all other items."[9] On its face that leaves mature-node purchases reviewable on their merits while blocking the tooling for 10 nm and below. The explicit reference to extreme ultraviolet technology matters because EUV lithography, which prints at a wavelength of 13.5 nm, is a technology [ASML](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/asml) describes as "unique to ASML."[36]

The justifications track how US concerns shifted from supercomputing to [AI chips](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/ai_chip). Sugon "has publicly acknowledged a variety of military end uses and end users of its high-performance computers," while the Wuxi Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology "is owned by the 56th Research Institute of the General Staff of China's People's Liberation Army."[5] The April 2021 batch, which took in Phytium, Sunway Microelectronics and four national supercomputing centers, rested on the finding that the entities were "involved in activities that support China's military actors, its destabilizing military modernization efforts, and/or its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs."[10] Inspur Group followed on March 2, 2023, added with a footnote 4 designation for acquiring and attempting to acquire US-origin items in support of Chinese military modernization.[12] By October 2023 the reasoning was explicitly about AI: BIS said the Biren and Moore Threads entities develop advanced computing integrated circuits that "can be used to provide artificial intelligence capabilities to further development of weapons of mass destruction, advanced weapons systems, and high-tech surveillance applications."[13] In March 2025 the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence was added because it and a second entity "have developed large artificial intelligence (AI) models and advanced computing chips for defense purposes."[20]

The list is not China-only. The March 2025 rules added entities in Iran, Pakistan, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates alongside 42 Chinese entries, and the September and October 2025 rules covered Turkey, India, Singapore, Taiwan and the UAE.[19][21][23]

## What the Entity List is not

A recurring source of confusion is that the best known US restrictions on AI hardware are not Entity List actions at all. The rule published October 13, 2022 (effective October 7 and later dates) created new Commerce Control List entries including ECCNs 3A090, 4A090 and 3B090, a US persons restriction, and two new foreign direct product rules covering advanced computing and supercomputer end use, alongside an expansion of the existing Entity List FDP rule. It restricted exports by product parameter and destination rather than by named party, though that expansion also gave footnote 4 to 28 Chinese entities already on the list.[11] The update published October 25, 2023 and effective November 17, 2023 replaced the earlier bits-times-TOPS metric with total processing performance (TPP), added the .z ECCN paragraphs and License Exception NAC (Notified Advanced Computing), and broadened the country scope from China and Macau to Country Groups D:1, D:4 and D:5, reaching items destined to an entity "headquartered in or whose ultimate parent company is headquartered in, either Macau or a destination specified in Country Group D:5."[14] The December 2024 rules added [high bandwidth memory](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/high_bandwidth_memory) as new ECCN 3A090.c, at a memory bandwidth density above 2 GB per second per square millimeter, and brought foreign-produced 3A090.c items within the EAR through the advanced computing foreign direct product rule at 15 CFR 734.9(h).[16]

The Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion, published January 15, 2025 and effective January 13, 2025, was likewise separate from the Entity List. It built a worldwide licensing structure for advanced chips and for the weights of closed-weight AI models trained on more than 10^26 computational operations, sorted destinations into tiers, and created License Exceptions AIA, LPP and ACM. Its DATES section set a general compliance date of May 15, 2025.[17] Two days before that date, on May 13, 2025, the Commerce Department announced the rescission of the rule, said BIS "plans to publish a regulation formalizing the rescission and will issue a replacement rule in the future," and issued same-day guidance on the risks of using PRC advanced computing chips including specific [Huawei Ascend](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/huawei_ascend) parts, on US AI chips being used to train Chinese models, and on protecting supply chains from diversion.[18] The status is worth stating carefully. No rescission rule appears in the Federal Register index of BIS rulemaking through July 2026, so the regulatory text remains on the books and BIS has narrowed it by enforcement policy instead. Describing the worldwide license requirement for advanced computing items at 15 CFR 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(A), a rule effective July 10, 2026 states that BIS "is only enforcing this license requirement to destinations in Country Groups D:1, D:4, or D:5 (excluding those also specified in Country Groups A:5 or A:6), and to entities headquartered in or with an ultimate parent headquartered in Country Group D:5 or Macau, wherever located," citing the May 13, 2025 guidance and further guidance issued May 31, 2026.[28][32]

Other instruments are also distinct:

| Instrument | Authority | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Entity List | 15 CFR 744.11, Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 | License required for named parties; license exceptions unavailable unless the entry authorizes them |
| Unverified List | 15 CFR 744.15, Supplement No. 6 | No license requirement; license exceptions suspended and the exporter must obtain a UVL statement |
| Military End User List | 15 CFR 744.21, Supplement No. 7 | License for specified items destined for military end users in Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, China, Nicaragua, Russia or Venezuela; supplement no. 7 names particular end users but is not exhaustive |
| EAR controls on OFAC-blocked persons | 15 CFR 744.8 | EAR restrictions applied to persons blocked under specified Treasury sanctions programs |
| CHIPS Act guardrails | Public Law 117-167, section 103 | Contractual condition on subsidy recipients, not an export control |

The two BIS lists most often mistaken for the Entity List work differently in kind. An Unverified List entry imposes no license requirement at all: it suspends license exceptions and obliges the exporter to obtain a signed UVL statement from the foreign party, which is a documentation duty rather than a prior-approval duty.[29] The Military End User List sits inside a broader rule: 15 CFR 744.21 imposes a license requirement for specified items destined for military end users in Burma, Cambodia, China, Nicaragua or Venezuela, with a parallel requirement for Belarus and Russia, and the regulation warns that supplement no. 7 "is not an exhaustive listing of 'military end users' in those countries," so exporters carry a diligence obligation beyond the list itself.[30]

The [CHIPS Act](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/chips_act), approved August 9, 2022, bars award recipients for ten years from any significant transaction "involving the material expansion of semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the People's Republic of China or any other foreign country of concern," with a carve-out for legacy semiconductors defined to include logic "of the 28 nanometer generation or older."[31] It binds only companies that take the money. The Entity List binds everyone who exports items subject to the EAR. Inbound foreign investment is a third track entirely, reviewed by [CFIUS](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/cfius) rather than BIS.

## The affiliates rule and its suspension

For most of the list's history, a subsidiary was not covered unless it was itself listed, which created an obvious workaround. An interim final rule effective September 29, 2025 changed that by adding a 50 percent ownership test: Entity List requirements "also apply to any foreign entity that is owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more listed entities," with parallel changes for the Military End User List and for OFAC-blocked persons. BIS wrote that the earlier approach "can enable diversionary schemes, such as the creation of new foreign companies to evade Entity List restrictions" and had required frequent additional rulemakings to catch newly formed subsidiaries. A savings clause let shipments already en route on September 29 complete by October 29, 2025.[22]

The expansion lasted six weeks. A final rule effective November 10, 2025 stayed the entire affiliates rule until November 9, 2026, "absent a future extension," with BIS saying only that it "will continue to evaluate U.S. national security and foreign policy interests related to these non-listed foreign affiliates of listed entities."[24] The same day, BIS removed Arrow China Electronics Trading Co., Ltd. from the list and stripped six aliases from a related entry, citing new information and compliance commitments from the parties.[25]

## 2026 status

BIS published no Entity List additions between the November 2025 removals and late July 2026. The six BIS rules published in 2026 through July 23 cover advanced computing license policy, drone exports, Cambodia, integrated circuit designer status, the UAE, and firearms.[32] The most consequential of those for AI hardware took effect January 15, 2026, when BIS revised the license review policy for exports of certain semiconductors to China and Macau, "changing it from a presumption of denial to a case-by-case review." The rule reaches "advanced computing commodities with a TPP less than 21,000 (as defined in Technical Note 2 to 3A090.a and 3A090.b), and a 'total DRAM bandwidth' less than 6,500 GB/s ..., such as the NVIDIA H200 or AMD MI325X," a set it elsewhere calls "the Nvidia H200 and its equivalents, as well as less advanced chips." Approval is conditioned on certifications covering sufficiency of US supply, foundry capacity, know-your-customer procedures, recipient security, third-party testing of every shipment, and a volume condition under which "the aggregate shipments of the product to China and Macau will be no more than 50% of the total product shipped to customers for end use in the United States of that product."[26] The rule does not mention the Entity List; listed parties remain subject to the license requirements set by their own entries.

Two further 2026 actions round out the picture. In April, BIS extended to December 31, 2026 the deadline for firms to apply for approved integrated circuit designer status, a category created by a January 16, 2025 rule that turns on ECCN 3A090.a and is decided by the same End-User Review Committee that runs the Entity List.[27] In July, BIS moved the UAE out of Country Groups D:3 and D:4 and into A:5, while keeping controls on advanced computing items except for approved UAE government entities and specified AI companies.[28]

## Criticism and effects

The main structural criticism, which BIS itself has effectively conceded, is that a named-party list invites corporate reorganization. The agency's own explanation of the affiliates rule described "substantial efforts" and repeated rulemakings needed to keep up with new subsidiaries, and the fix it wrote was suspended within six weeks.[22][24] A second line of criticism concerns extraterritorial reach: the foreign direct product rules attached to footnotes 1, 4 and 5 assert US jurisdiction over goods made entirely abroad on the basis of US-origin technology, software or tooling, which is what extends the reach of a listing to foreign foundries and to equipment supply chains outside US territory.[7][11][16]

Measuring the effect is harder, because the rules themselves only show intent. What the record does show is that the target kept moving. Listings began with computer buyers such as Sugon, moved to a foundry in 2020, to chip designers in 2023, and by December 2024 to [China's](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/china_ai) own semiconductor equipment makers, a progression that tracks a shift in concern from what Chinese firms were buying to what they were building for themselves.[5][9][13][15] Around the named-party layer, the country-level and product-level controls were rewritten in 2022, 2023, 2024 and again in January 2026, when the review policy for chips below 21,000 TPP bound for China and Macau, including [NVIDIA](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/nvidia) [H200](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/nvidia_h200) and [AMD](https://aiwiki.ai/wiki/amd) MI325X parts, moved from presumption of denial to case-by-case subject to certifications and a volume condition.[11][14][16][26] Those layers have been loosened and made conditional. The named-party layer moved the other way and then stalled: the one attempt to broaden its reach, the affiliates rule, was suspended six weeks after it took effect, and BIS added no entities at all in the first seven months of 2026.[22][24][32]
