BIS Unverified List
The BIS Unverified List identifies foreign parties whose legitimacy cannot be verified through standard end-use checks. Placement on the list signals elevated supply chain and diversion risk for exporters that may require additional diligence or licensing. This section tracks new UVL additions, removals and policy updates that influence global screening practices. Coverage highlights how end-use concerns impact transaction decisions and exporter compliance obligations.
Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).
Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").
Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
