US Export Controls Cut China Off From Advanced Chips
- The interim final rule "Implementation of Additional Export Controls: Certain Advanced Computing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Items; Supercomputer and Semiconductor End Use; Entity List Modification" was published on 13 October 2022, with its core provisions "effective on October 7, 2022"[1]
- The rest came in stages: one instruction on 12 October and twelve more on 21 October 2022[1]
- From 7 October the specified semiconductor manufacturing equipment became controlled for regional-stability reasons, in order "to immediately address concerns with the PRC's demonstrated intent and ability to use the specified items for activities of U.S. national security and foreign policy concern"[1]
- BIS skipped notice and comment, citing "the urgent need for this rule to counter China's actions" and the Export Control Reform Act's exemption[1]
- A new foreign direct product rule reached items made abroad with US technology when a footnote 4 entity was party to the transaction, because "many supercomputer parts and components based on U.S. technology and software are not produced in the United States"[1]
- A temporary general license let non-Chinese companies keep running assembly, test and distribution operations inside China from 21 October 2022 through 7 April 2023, to avoid breaking supply chains serving customers outside China[1]
- Goods already on the dock or in transit on 7 October could still go, provided they moved before midnight on 7 November 2022[1]
- The controls have been tightened repeatedly since, and BIS now requires a licence for advanced computing items going to any entity whose ultimate parent is headquartered in Country Group D:5 or Macau, wherever that entity sits[1]
