BIS Removes Two Hong Kong Addresses from Entity List

The Bureau of Industry and Security removes two addresses linked to Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. from the Entity List under the China destination, following prior removals in November 2025. The End-User Review Committee determined to remove 2/F and 3/F, Green 18, Phase 2, Hong Kong Science Park, Hong Kong; and Units 11001-11008E & 11001-11012W, 11th Floor, ATL Logistics Centre B, No. 8 Container Port Road South, Kwai Chung, Hong Kong. The removals stem from information received pursuant to § 744.16 of the Export Administration Regulations and the committee's review conducted under supplement no. 5 to part 744 of the EAR. This determination follows the removal from the Entity List of Arrow China Electronics Trading Co., Ltd., and the removal of six aliases for Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. in November 2025.

End-User Review Committee Process

The End-User Review Committee, composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote. The committee conducted its review in accordance with procedures described in supplement no. 5 to part 744 of the EAR.

Export Control Reform Act Authority

On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA). Section 1753 of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4812) authorizes the regulation of exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of items subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Section 1754(a)(1)-(16) of ECRA authorizes, inter alia, establishing and maintaining a list of foreign persons and end uses that are determined to be a threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States pursuant to the policy set forth in Section 1752(2)(A). Pursuant to Section 1762(a) of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4821(a)), these changes can be imposed in a final rule without prior notice and comment.

Rulemaking Exemptions

The Bureau of Industry and Security has examined the impact of this rule as required by Executive Orders 12866 and 13563. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. This rule is exempt from the requirements of E.O. 14192 because it is being issued with respect to a national security function of the United States, per section 5(a) of E.O. 14192. The regulation involves an information collection approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, Simplified Network Application Processing System. BIS does not anticipate a change to the burden hours associated with this collection as a result of this rule. The rule does not contain policies with federalism implications as that term is defined in E.O. 13132.
