MATCH Act
Sponsored By: Representative Baumgartner, Michael [R-WA-5]
In Committee
Summary
Align U.S. and allied export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This bill would create a time‑bound framework to identify choke points, push allies to adopt countrywide denial licensing policies, and extend U.S. jurisdiction over exports and servicing to facilities in countries of concern.
Show full summary
- Federal agencies and diplomacy: Agency heads must identify covered equipment and facilities within 60 days, publish regulations within 150 days, and provide a 90‑day briefing and annual reports on progress. This forces coordinated rulemaking and regular diplomatic outreach to supplier governments.
- Targeted firms and facilities: The bill names specific entities in the People’s Republic of China, including SMIC, Huawei, YMTC, and CXMT, and would block them from accessing U.S. or allied‑origin chipmaking equipment, servicing, and related end uses under a denial policy.
- Allied suppliers and global trade: Allies would be pressed to adopt countrywide controls and denial licensing. If allies do not comply the U.S. would extend its own export and servicing restrictions to goods and support from those countries. The regime sunsets after 5 years unless renewed.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
New definitions for chip equipment
The bill would define key terms such as 'covered semiconductor manufacturing equipment,' 'covered facility,' 'applicable item,' and 'country of concern.' It would list equipment types and ECCNs that count and say servicing includes both in-person and remote maintenance. Some definitions apply as of enactment and some apply as of January 1, 2026. These definitions would determine who needs licenses and controls.
New export controls and reporting rules
The bill would require agencies to list covered chip equipment and facilities within 60 days and update that list every year. Within 90 days agencies would brief Congress on which allied supplier countries have not adopted required controls. Within 150 days agencies would either certify allied action or publish rules to extend U.S. export, servicing, and end-use controls and require licenses with a policy of denial for noncompliant allied countries. Agencies would submit a full 180-day report and annual reports, and must reimpose controls within 60 days if an ally weakens a control.
One-time 90-day deadline extension
The bill would let agency heads grant one one-time extension of the 150-day rulemaking deadline by up to 90 days. The extension would require concurrence from the Defense and Energy secretaries and a joint certification that it is in the national security interest and that allied supplier governments are taking concrete steps. Agencies would have to report to Congress describing the justification and interim steps to prevent stockpiling.
Five-year sunset for controls
The bill would make the regime end five years after enactment. The bill would say that any action, proceeding, or obligation started before the sunset would not be undone by the expiration.
