Revisions to the Entity List
Key claim: The Commerce Department is taking two addresses of Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) off its China Entity List, so exporters no longer need a license solely because of those addresses.
Abstract
(Rule · Commerce Department, Industry and Security Bureau) In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing two addresses associated with Arrow Electronics (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. from the Entity List under the destination of China, People’s Republic of (China). 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.
Why this matters
Entity List additions and removals directly determine whether U.S. exporters need a BIS license to ship items to specific foreign addresses, affecting compliance costs and downstream customer availability. Even narrow delistings like this one signal how Commerce recalibrates the list over time and matter to importers and distributors relying on Hong Kong electronics logistics.
