What the Entity List Is

The Entity List, part of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), identifies organizations—businesses, research centers, or other entities—that pose a risk to U.S. national security or foreign policy.

Being on the list means that certain items cannot be exported, reexported, or transferred to that entity without a license. Ignoring these restrictions can lead to severe fines or legal action.

Why it matters: The list controls access to sensitive technologies, goods, and information, preventing misuse and protecting U.S. interests.
