BIS Issues Licensing Policy for Russia-Related Entity Listings, Corrects Other Entries
The Bureau of Industry and Security outlined its licensing policy for the 14 additions to the Entity List announced earlier this week (see 2103020067) and made several corrections to the list, a final rule released March 2 said. BIS will impose a license requirement for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations that are destined to the 14 Russian, German and Swiss entities, the rule said. The license requirement will also apply if any of the entities acts as a “purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user,” BIS added, and no license exceptions will be available. All exports and reexports that now require a license as a result of the Entity List additions but were aboard a carrier to a port as of March 4 may proceed to their destinations under the previous eligibility, BIS said.
