BIS Won't 'Hesitate' to Penalize More Companies for Supporting Russia, Official Says
After the Bureau of Industry and Security added 120 entities to its Entity List last week for supporting the Russian and Belarusian militaries (see 2204010080), senior BIS official Thea Kendler said the U.S. won’t “hesitate” to impose more export restrictions.

“BIS will continue its dogged scrutiny of the defense, aerospace, maritime, and other key sectors in Russia and Belarus,” Kendler said. “We will not hesitate to revoke access to U.S. items from any party seeking to support Putin’s war.”
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the restrictions will help to further isolate the Russian government. “These parties are being effectively cut off from the inputs necessary to sustain [Russian President Valdimir] Putin’s war,” Raimondo said, “and shows that the United States has the capabilities to detect, identify, and restrict parties in Russia, Belarus, or elsewhere that seek to support that effort.”
Along with the Entity List additions, BIS also designated 95 of the parties as military end-users (see 2204010080). Those 95 entities will be designated under Footnote 3 of the Entity List, which subjects them to BIS’s recently issued foreign direct product rule for Russian and Belarusian military end-users (see 2202240069).
All of the newly added entities will be subject to a policy of denial for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations, and no license exceptions will be available. The 120 new entities are:
