Unverified List

The Unverified List (UVL) is a precursor to the Department of Commerce Entity List.  Parties are added to the UVL when there may not be sufficient information to add the foreign person/entity at issue to the Entity List.  Parties listed on the UVL are ineligible to receive items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by means of a license exception and there are additional filing and documentation requirements if items are transferred to a party on the UVL.  The full list can be found in Supplement No. 6 to 15 CFR § 744.  However, there are several universities and research institutes on the UVL.  For example:

country University/Institute
China Anhui Institute of Metrology
China Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics
China Guangdong University of Technology
China Nanchang University

China

Sun Yat-Sen University
China

Hefei Institutes of Physical Science

China Southern University of Science and Technology, Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering
China Hunan University, State Key Lab of Chemo/Biosensing and Chemometrics

Foreign Universities Sanctioned by the Treasury Department 

The following universities appear on Office of Foreign Assets Control's (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals list. As part of its enforcement efforts, OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and entities are called “Specially Designated Nationals” or “SDNs.” Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
