Export Control Unverified List Updates
Summary
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 13 persons to the Unverified List (UVL). The 13 persons being added are added under the following destinations: China, Peoples' Republic of (China) (8), Cyprus (1), Kyrgyzstan (1), T[uuml]rkiye (2), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (1). BIS is also amending the EAR by removing eight persons from the UVL. Of the eight persons being removed, one is under the destination of the UAE, one is under the destination of Russia, and six are under the destination of China. This final rule also removes the country name Russia from the UVL. Lastly, this final rule replaces the country name Turkey with T[uuml]rkiye in the UVL. This is a conforming change to the U.S. State Department's recognition on January 9, 2023, of T[uuml]rkiye's official name.
Compliance Requirements
- #1
The use of license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) involving a party or parties to the transaction who are listed on the UVL is suspended; Exporters, re-exporters, and transferors must obtain, and maintain a record of, a UVL statement from a party or parties to the transaction who are listed on the UVL before proceeding with exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to such persons, when the exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) are not subject to a license requirement; Electronic Export Information (EEI) must be filed in the Automated Export System (AES) for all exports of tangible items subject to the EAR in which parties to the transaction, as described in § 748.5(d) through (f), are listed on the UVL; Requests for the removal of a UVL entry must be made in accordance with § 744.15(d) of the EAR; Shipments that were eligible for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license before this regulatory action and that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or enroute aboard a carrier to a port of export, on [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], pursuant to actual orders, may proceed to that UVL listed person under the previous license exception eligibility or without a license and pursuant to the export clearance requirements set forth in part 758 of the EAR that applied prior to this person being listed on the UVL, so long as the items have been exported from the United States, reexported or transferred (in-country) before [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS AFTER DATE PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]
Deadline: Effective upon publication in Federal Register (07/03/2024)
Market Impacts
Addition of 13 entities to Unverified List restricts market access for exports, reexports, and transfers of items subject to Export Administration Regulations to these entities. Suspends license exceptions for transactions involving UVL-listed parties and requires UVL statements for non-license required transactions.; Removal of 7 entities from Unverified List (6 in China, 1 in UAE) restores normal market access and removes additional compliance requirements for transactions with these entities; Complete removal of Russia from UVL due to all Russian entities being moved to Entity List, creating more severe market access barriers as Entity List imposes stricter licensing requirements and presumptive denial policies; Mandatory UVL statement requirement for exports, reexports, and transfers to UVL-listed entities when not subject to license requirement, plus mandatory Electronic Export Information filing in AES for all tangible item exports involving UVL parties
