Loaded daily from the International Trade Administration's Consolidated Screening List. A result is a name match against the published list at the time of the search, not an export authorisation.

About the List

What You Need to Know

What the MEU List is

The Military End-User List is Supplement No. 7 to part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations. It names foreign parties that BIS has determined are military end users, for which a licence is required to export certain items subject to the EAR.

The list is not exhaustive

The licence requirement for military end users applies whether or not the party is on the list. A clean result on this list does not settle whether your customer is a military end user, so the end-use and end-user questions still apply.

Read the licence terms on the match

Our results show the licence requirement published with the entry. Whether your item is caught depends on its classification and destination, so licensing questions go to BIS or your trade counsel.

Frequently Asked Questions

The BIS Entity List, Unverified List, Military End-User List and Denied Persons List, the State Department's ITAR Debarred List and Nonproliferation Sanctions, and the OFAC lists. We load them daily from the Consolidated Screening List published by the International Trade Administration. Every search also covers the EU, UN, UK, Canadian and Swiss sanctions lists.

No. A screening tells you whether a party appears on the lists at the time of the search. Whether an export needs a licence also depends on the item's classification, the destination and the end use. Licensing questions go to BIS, DDTC or your trade counsel.

The entry's name, aliases, addresses and score, plus the licence requirement and licence review policy the list publishes for that party.

The Export Administration Regulations require records of export transactions to be kept for five years (15 CFR 762.6). The PDF report and a plan's search log both record what was searched, against which lists, and when.

No. We do not load the Department of Homeland Security's UFLPA Entity List, so a search here does not check it.
