The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) contain an Entity List that imposes license requirements for transactions involving certain "listed" entities. The Entity List is in Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 to the EAR (15 C.F.R. Part 744, Supp. No. 4).
The Entity List specifies the license requirements that it imposes on each listed entity. Those license requirements are independent of and in addition to any license requirements imposed elsewhere in the EAR. For example if you want to export or reexport an EAR99 item to a listed entity and the license requirements for that entity as specified in the "License Requirement" column of the Entity List state "all items that are subject to the EAR", you would have to obtain a license before exporting or reexporting the item.. You would have to obtain this license even if EAR99 items could otherwise be sent to the country of destination without a license and the end use would not trigger another license requirement under part 744 of the EAR. Similarly, if you are sending an item to a party who is not listed and some other provision of the EAR such as the Commerce Control List, the end use requirements in part 744, or the embargo and special destination requirements in part 746 impose a license requirement, you would have to apply for a license.
BIS evaluates license applications to any listed entity according to the policy stated in the "License Review Policy" column for that entity. If there is more than one license requirement for a particular transaction, you would submit only one license application, but BIS would evaluate it according to the licensing policies of all applicable license requirements. If any applicable policy required denial, BIS would deny the application, even if the others provided for approval. For example, if your planned transaction requires a license because the Commerce Control List and Country Chart impose a license requirement for that combination of item and destination and your proposed consignee is on the Entity List , BIS will evaluate your application based on the Commerce Control List licensing policy in Part 742 of the EAR and the policy for the consignee stated on the Entity List . If either policy required denial, your application would be denied.
