What is a Denied Persons List?
The purpose of ‘The Denied Persons List’ is to prevent the illegal export of dual-use items before they occur; investigate and assist in the prosecution of violators of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the Fastener Quality Act (FQA); and inform and educate exporters, freight forwarders, and manufacturers of their enforcement responsibilities under the EAR and FQA. The list is created by U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security as part of BIS’s Export Enforcement (EE) program. You may access the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security’s Denied Persons List at www.bis.doc.gov. Click on the Lists to Check link located to the left of the screen.
