BIS

Bureau of Industry and Security

EAR · Authority

The Commerce bureau that writes and enforces the EAR. Licensing, classification (CCATS), Entity List additions, charging letters, and the SNAP-R system all flow through BIS. It is not DDTC and it is not OFAC — a BIS license does not replace a State license or an OFAC license.

bis.gov is the operational site. The EAR is the legal text.
End-user reviews and “is this Entity Listed?” are BIS questions, not CBP questions.
