The Commerce Department’s export enforcement actions in 2023 resulted in the “highest number ever” of convictions, temporary denial orders and post-conviction denial orders, the Bureau of Industry and Security wrote in a year-end review. It also said it worked with foreign governments to complete over 1,500 end-use checks, “our most ever in a single year,” and added more than 465 parties from China, Iran, Russia and elsewhere to the Entity List.
BIS Entity List
The Entity List is a BIS trade restriction list consisting of entities deemed a national security concern and therefore subject to license requirements for exporting specified items, such as some U.S. technologies. Inclusion on the Entity List is more severe than being placed on the Unverified List.
Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., BIS +Huawei).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., China -tariff).
Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls" or "entity list" instead of "entity listing").
