BIS Extends Suspension of End-User Controls Expansion for Listed-Entity Affiliates Through Jan 10, 2027

The Bureau of Industry and Security is extending the suspension of an interim final rule that would have expanded end-user controls to affiliates of certain Entity List-designated entities. The suspension, originally set to expire November 9, 2026, is extended through January 10, 2027, delaying broader affiliate-level export licensing requirements under the EAR.
