One-Year Halt on Tighter Export Rules for Watchlisted Firms
Published Date: 11/11/2025
Rule
Summary
The government is hitting pause for one year on new rules that would make companies owned by certain listed entities follow extra controls. This means businesses linked to these special groups won’t face new restrictions until November 9, 2026. If you’re a company affected, you get a breather before any new rules kick in, giving everyone more time to adjust without extra costs right now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
One-year pause on new affiliate controls
If you are a company that would be treated as an affiliate (at least 50% owned directly or indirectly) of an entity on the Entity List, new license requirements and related controls in the "Affiliates Rule" are suspended from November 10, 2025 through November 9, 2026. That means these companies will not be subject to the new Entity List restrictions during that one-year period.
Controls reimposed after suspension ends
On November 10, 2026, BIS will add back into the Export Administration Regulations the license requirements and related provisions from the Affiliates Rule that were suspended. That means the same restrictions removed on November 10, 2025 will be reimposed effective November 10, 2026 and will extend indefinitely.
One-time drop in license filings expected
BIS estimates a one-time reduction of 245 license applications submitted during the one-year suspension period under OMB Control Number 0694-0088. BIS says this reduction reflects fewer license submissions while the Affiliates Rule is suspended.
