BIS removes 3 persons from Unverified List: DMA Logistics (DE), Halm Elektronik (DE), IPTE (MX)

Mechanism

The Unverified List (Supplement No. 6 to 15 CFR Part 744) lists foreign persons whose legitimacy and reliability as end-users BIS was unable to verify in prior pre-license or post-shipment end-use checks. UVL placement imposes two practical consequences on US exporters:

1. Licence-exception suspension — most EAR licence exceptions (NLR, EAR99, etc.) are unavailable for shipments to UVL-listed parties. 2. UVL Statement requirement — US exporters must obtain a signed statement from the listed party confirming permissible end-use before shipping items subject to the EAR.

Removal under §744.15(c)(2) occurs when BIS completes a satisfactory end-use check demonstrating that the party's bona fides — legitimacy, reliability, and end-use compliance — have been verified. This rule removes three persons from the UVL:

1. DMA Logistics GmbH — logistics company based in Unna, Germany (Max Planck-Strasse 1). A logistics provider operating in Germany, an allied/Wassenaar jurisdiction. Placement on the UVL likely stemmed from an incomplete post-shipment verification; removal confirms satisfactory end-user legitimacy.

2. Halm Elektronik GmbH — electronics company based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (Burgstrasse 106). Electronics manufacturers in Germany are among the most common UVL candidates given the dual-use sensitivity of precision electronic components; this removal clears the end-use verification backlog for this Frankfurt-area firm.

3. Integrated Production and Test Engineering (IPTE) — manufacturing and testing company based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico (Calle Alambiques 975–9, Parque Industrial el Álamo). IPTE operates in Mexico's manufacturing corridor (Jalisco tech cluster), providing production and test engineering services. Removal restores normal EAR access for US component and equipment suppliers serving this facility.

Downstream implications

• Pure-removal actions have no incremental export-control impact; they reverse a prior

restriction rather than imposing a new one.

• Both German entities are in a Wassenaar Arrangement country, making original UVL placement

unusual — this is an administrative cleanup confirming BIS completed delayed verification.

• The Mexico removal is consistent with BIS's periodic UVL maintenance for manufacturing

facilities in USMCA member countries, where cross-border component flows face routine end-use check cycles.

Open questions

• The underlying end-use check that triggered original UVL placement is not publicly

disclosed. No subsequent UVL re-additions for these three parties have been observed in the register.
