US Adds 70 Risky Firms to Export Blacklist Drama
Published Date: 3/28/2025
Rule
Summary
The U.S. government just added 70 companies from China, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa, and the UAE to a special watchlist because they’re seen as risks to national security. They also updated details for four other companies in France, Iran, Senegal, and the UK. These changes mean businesses need to be extra careful when trading with these groups, starting right away.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
70 Foreign Firms Added to Entity List
The Bureau of Industry and Security added 70 entities to the Entity List: 42 in China, 2 in Iran, 19 in Pakistan, 3 in South Africa, and 4 in the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Government determined these entities are acting contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests, so businesses that trade with them must be extra careful because new export restrictions now apply starting right away.
Four Existing Entity Entries Modified
The rule also revises four existing Entity List entries — one under France, one under Iran, one under Senegal, and one under the United Kingdom. Businesses that interact with those specific listed entities should review the updated entries because the modifications may change applicable export-control conditions and compliance obligations starting right away.
