WASHINGTON  – Today, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security 
(BIS) announced that  33 parties will be removed from the Unverified List, 27 of which are based 
in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) with others located in Indonesia, Pakistan, Singapore, 
Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.  The removals went on public display this morning and 
become effective upon  publication in the Federal Register tomorrow . 
 
“The ability to verify the legitimacy and reliability of foreign parties receiving U.S. exports 
through the timely completion of end -use checks is a core principle of our export control 
system,” said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Ax elrod.   “Our 
removal of 33 parties demonstrates the concrete benefit companies receive when they or a host 
government cooperates with BIS to complete a successful end -use check.”   
 
BIS is taking this action because it was able to establish the bona fides  – i.e., legitimacy and 
reliability relating to the end use or end user of items subject to the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR) – of these parties through the successful compl etion of end -use checks.  
 
On October 7, 2022, BIS enhanced our ability to facilitate end -use checks by announcing a new 
two-step policy (link to memo here) that moves parties onto the Unverified List, and then from 
the Unverified List to the Entity List, when a host government’s sustained non -cooperation 
prevents the timely scheduling of end -use checks.  Under the  policy, parties can be added to the 
Unverified List 60 days after end -use checks are requested but host government inaction 
prevents their completion. In addition, after an additional 60 days of continued inaction by the 
foreign government, BIS will initi ate the interagency regulatory process to move those parties 
from the Unverified List to the Entity List.   
 
Beyond the policy, parties can also be added to the Unverified List for other reasons, including 
our inability to contact or locate the party and f ailure by the party to appropriately demonstrate 
the disposition of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations.  If these circumstances 
are later remedied, the party may be removed from the Unverified List.  
 
Prior to BIS issuing the policy issu ing, requested end -use checks in the PRC had been met with 
lengthy scheduling delays.  The October issuance of the policy subsequently led directly to the 
scheduling of end -use checks in the PRC. On December 16, 2022, 26 parties located in the PRC 
were rem oved from the Unverified List after subsequent scheduling and successful completion of 
end-use checks.  On February 7, 2022, BIS added 31 parties located in the PRC to the Unverified 
List and moved nine parties located in Russia from the Unverified List to  the Entity List.  
Today’s announcement  is a further reflection of the policy’s success in getting end -use checks 
scheduled, with an additional 27 PRC parties being removed from the Unverified List following 
successful checks.  
 
In addition, BIS is removing two Russian entities from the UVL because they were added to the 
Entity List on June 6, 2022.

The Unverified List (suppl ement no. 6 to part 744) is one of several lists, including the Entity 
List (supplement no. 4 to part 744) and the Military End User List (supplement no. 7 to part 
744), administered and maintained by BIS.  These lists inform U.S. exporters and the general  
public of end -users that are of concern for various reasons, and that are subject to specific 
requirements or prohibitions in the EAR.
