Recorded on Monday, October 6, 2025

After months of speculation, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) unveiled its 50% Rule (known as the “Affiliates Rule”), extending export restrictions and licensing requirements to entities majority-owned by parties on the BIS Entity List or Military End-User (MEU) List, or by Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) under specific programs.
