The BIS Affiliates Rule will take effect on November 10, 2026, expanding export controls to companies owned or controlled by listed restricted parties, increasing compliance obligations globally. The rule closes enforcement gaps with Treasury's OFAC rules and supports U.S. policy towards China, though its enforcement may be delayed due to the U.S.-China trade truce.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
