The Unverified List (15 CFR 744 Supplement No. 6) is a procedural EAR tool distinct from the Entity List. Placement signals that BIS has been unable to complete a satisfactory end-use check (EUC) — either a pre-license check or a post-shipment verification — to confirm that a foreign party's stated end-use and end-user are legitimate. Consequences for US exporters: (i) all EAR license exceptions are suspended for shipments to the listed party, and (ii) before exporting any item subject to the EAR (including EAR99 items under a "no license required" determination) the exporter must obtain a signed UVL Statement from the foreign consignee acknowledging the item's end-use and end-user. There is no license-denial presumption — that escalation would require Entity List placement.
All 13 additions are Chinese entities, spanning contract electronics manufacturing, logistics/transport, and technology trading. Notable among them:
Precision Industrial** — both operate within Foxconn's Taiwanese-owned mainland manufacturing network (Fulian is the mainland legal entity name used by Foxconn/Hon Hai Precision). Their UVL placement implies BIS could not complete routine EUCs at these facilities, likely due to access restrictions.
PLXS), a contract electronics manufacturer serving industrial, healthcare, and defense-adjacent sectors.

alongside technology companies suggests BIS scrutinised freight forwarding channels potentially used to ship controlled items.
Xietong** — trading and technology intermediaries with limited public profiles, a pattern consistent with BIS targeting potential front-company conduits.
not reflect a new policy escalation; it is a scheduled update to the UVL register consistent with BIS's ongoing program of end-use checks across the Chinese manufacturing and trading sector. The December 2023 timing follows several months of intensified China export-control rule-making (October 2023 advanced chip expansion).
amendment (2024-07-03-us-bis-uvl-13-additions-8-removals) removed five of these 13 entities from the UVL: Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin), Guangzhou Xinyun Intelligent Technology, Nanning Fulian Fu Gui Precision Industrial, Shenzhen Jia Li Chuang Tech Development, and Xi'An Yierda — all because BIS successfully completed their EUCs. The remaining eight either stayed on the UVL or were escalated.
is notable given Foxconn's central role in global electronics supply chains (iPhone assembly, server manufacturing). UVL placement does not block exports to these sites but adds compliance overhead for any US supplier shipping EAR-controlled items to them.
