<p class="x_MsoNormal"> The attached Federal Register Notice lists 50 new entities recently added to the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Unverified List (UVL). This list includes four universities and several divisions/institutes
of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The universities are:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, China</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Tongji University, Shanghai, China</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Xi’an Jiaotong University, School of Electrical Engineering, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China</li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Xi’an Jiaotong University, Qujiang, Xi’an, China</li></ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>What is the Unverified List?</b><i> </i>The BIS Unverified List is a list of people and entities that BIS cannot verify end-use checks or verify the
<i>bona fides </i>of a foreign party. For example, BIS may conduct an end-use check, and the recipient is unable to produce those items for visual inspection or provide sufficient documentation or other evidence as to the disposition of those items. The inability
of foreign entities subject to end-use checks to produce the <i>bona fides</i> raises concerns about the suitability of such entities in future exports, reexports or transfers of items subject to the EAR and indicates a risk that such items may be diverted
to prohibited end uses and/or end users. However, BIS may not have enough information to put those entities on the BIS Entity List. In those situations, BIS may put them on the Unverified List.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>So how does this affect us? </b>For anything subject to Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations (EAR), we would need to obtain a signed “UVL statement” (end-user statement) from the entity before transfer of
<u>any</u> item subject to the EAR. This would be required whether or not an export license is needed. This could also affect us if, for example, a student from one of the universities was attending UA, and we give them something EAR controlled, like software,
and the student returned to their home institution with that software.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">If you are planning on shipping anything to any of these entities or have students/visitors come to UA from these entities, please contact us at
<a href="mailto:export@email.arizona.edu" id="LPlnk714569" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">
export@email.arizona.edu</a> or give me a call at 520-626-2437, and we can discuss next steps. Of course, let me know if you have any questions.</p>
