The Chinese company will be subject to a license review policy of presumption of denial for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations, and the other entities will be subject to certain nuclear end-user licensing restrictions. No license exceptions will be available for the entities. All exports, reexports and transfers that now require a license as a result of the increased export restrictions that were aboard a carrier to a port as of Feb. 14 may proceed to their destinations under the previous eligibility, BIS said.
BIS also made some corrections and clarifications to existing entries on the Entity List. The rule revised the entry for Huawei Cloud Brazil by correcting a “typographical error” in the city name for its address. The agency also revised the entries for China-based Huawei Technologies Co. and Wavelet by adding punctuation to “delineate between the addresses that are already listed.” This correction fixes an error made in the original publication of the rule that added Wavelet to the Entity List, which “failed to separate the entry’s address in Shenzhen, China, from its address in Hong Kong.”
The rule also combined the two existing entries titled “Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd,” which doesn’t change BIS policy but will help “mitigate confusion,” the agency said. The change will combine the one entry that lists Huawei’s Hong Kong address and another Huawei entry that lists “multiple other locations in China.” BIS also added three Huawei aliases -- HMN Technologies, Huahai Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd., and HMN Tech -- under Huawei Marine Networks.
