BIS Adds 42 to Entity List for Violating Russia-Related Export Controls

The Bureau of Industry and Security added 42 parties to the Entity List for helping to illegally supply parts and drones to Russia’s military industrial base, performing contracts for Russian government entities or for doing business with sanctioned companies. The companies and people added to the list are located in China, Cyprus, Germany, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.

Effective Dec. 7, the parties will face license requirements for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations, and licenses will be reviewed under either a policy of denial or presumption of denial, with some exports of food and medicine subject to a case-by-case review. Several of the new entities were also designated as a Russia/Belarus-Military End User and made subject to foreign direct product rule licensing restrictions.
