Released officially on June 22, 2026, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China issued Announcement No.23, rolling out the updated dual-use items export control entity list. A total of ten U.S. enterprises are newly included in the restrictive control scope, covering drone manufacturers, marine defense service providers, military vehicle suppliers and intelligent robot developers.
Per the requirements of the Export Control Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on the Administration of Export of Dual-Use Items, two core restrictive rules take effect immediately with the release of the announcement. First, all domestic export operators are banned from exporting any controlled dual-use goods, technologies and related accessories to the ten listed American entities. Second, all overseas organizations and individuals are prohibited from transferring China-origin controlled dual-use products to these restricted companies. Any ongoing export businesses involving the controlled entities must be suspended immediately. Only under special legitimate circumstances can exporters submit formal application materials to MOFCOM for special export permission.
The newly added controlled entities involve multiple high-tech logistics and shipping-related fields, including L3Harris Maritime Services, Teal Drones and Oshkosh Defense. Restricted commodities cover unmanned aerial vehicles, marine navigation equipment, military electronic components, heavy-duty defense vehicles and core industrial automation parts. A large number of China-US sea freight, air cargo and international express shipments of electronic hardware, mechanical accessories will be subject to stricter end-user inspection during customs declaration.

Logistics service providers remind foreign trade manufacturers to sort out customer order information in advance, strengthen end-user background investigation, and reserve sufficient time for customs clearance review when arranging sea and air shipments to the US market. Professional integrated logistics suppliers can provide one-stop compliance consulting, cargo classification audit and declaration risk control services to help enterprises avoid shipment detention, administrative fines and trade losses caused by non-compliance with the new export control rules.
