The Entity List is a trade restriction list published by the United States Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), consisting of certain foreign persons, entities, or governments.[1] Entities on the Entity List are subject to U.S. license requirements for the export or transfer of specified items, such as some U.S. technologies.[1][2] However, U.S. persons or companies are not prohibited from purchasing items from a company on the Entity List.[3] Being included on the Entities List is less severe than being designated a "Denied Person."
