限制是不断变化的

The US Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has continuously implemented stricter restrictions on the exports of US goods to blacklisted Chinese companies, 尤其是针对中国科技巨头华为. These regulations mean that any transaction of items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to a company on the Entity List could be a violation.

此外, the EAR also covers certain items produced using US technologies as well as US-controlled materials, 不管它们在哪里生产. 自2018年以来,这些规定更新得更加频繁, effectively restricting Huawei and associated entities from accessing certain key parts and components such as semiconductors.

结果是, Swedish companies operating in global supply chains need to carefully evaluate the risks of their involvement in ordering, 购买, or using any goods subject to the EAR and directly or indirectly transferring these to a company on the Entity List.
