The Entity List
Designations in 85 countries, including removed entries. Each active entry specifies its own licence requirements.
Active
The 15 removed or expired designations appear as faint marks at the upper right.
Matched to the compute dataset
4.9% of the active list, with 176 matches by name or corporate relationship. A designation can match several organisations. Of these matches, 173 involve organisations with supply-chain records; their relationship counts sum to 1,544, with repeats where matches share an organisation.
Confirmed
Highest match score of 0.85 or above.
Screening lead
Highest match score from 0.60 to below 0.85. Check the designation and supporting records before citing the match.
Under review
Highest match score below 0.60. These provisional matches remain in the register for review.
Plate I. One equal-sized mark per designation. Matches are grouped at the lower left and removed designations at the upper right. Colour shows the highest match score for each designation, using the categories in the key.
No match was found for 3,254 active designations. Some may concern organisations missing from the compute dataset or relationships absent from the ownership records. Others may have no connection to compute infrastructure; these results cannot distinguish the cases.
75 further countries appear in the designation corpus with no match into Scrutica’s compute dataset.

The newest 5 of 176 match events in the window; a match event is a designation newly joined to, or dropped from, a tracked organization. The Entity List’s own additions and removals are on the change log.
On 13 May 2025 BIS announced that it would not enforce the Biden-era AI Diffusion Rule (the three-tier country framework, effective 13 January 2025 with compliance due from 15 May) and would rescind it by regulation; no replacement rule has been recorded. The October 2022 and October 2023 advanced-computing rules remain in force. The January 2026 rule opened case-by-case review for qualifying exports from the United States to China and Macau, bounded by TPP and DRAM-bandwidth ceilings that the H200 and MI325X fall under; chips above them, the Blackwell class included, stay under a presumption of denial. The UAE moved from Country Groups D:3 and D:4 to A:5 on 10 July 2026, with licence relief for advanced-computing items where the ultimate consignee and every end user hold supplement no. 8 approval, and Part 744 controls intact.
In May 2025 the Commerce Department announced that it would not enforce the 2025 AI Diffusion Rule, the three-tier country framework, and would formally rescind it; no replacement has been issued. The October 2022 and October 2023 restrictions remain in force: the most capable AI chips need a licence to go to China, and for chips above the ceilings set in January 2026, the Blackwell generation included, licences are expected to be refused, a presumption of denial rather than a prohibition. Chips under those ceilings, the H200 and MI325X among them, have been reviewed case by case since January 2026. The United Arab Emirates moved in July 2026 to the country group covering close allies, with licence relief for a named list of approved recipients where every end user is approved.
Culper Research’s 13 May 2026 short thesis reports that Aivres Systems was renamed from Inspur Systems in May 2023, after Inspur Group’s designation. The cited licensed corporate-ownership record, dated 14 May 2026, retains the former name and identifies it as a direct subsidiary of IEIT Systems Co., Ltd.
The licensed listing records report 33.26% "Private Company" insider ownership for IEIT Systems (000977-CN) and 50.88% "Government" insider ownership for Inspur International (596-HK). These percentages describe shareholders in two different issuers; neither measures a designated entity’s ownership of Aivres. Source: licensed corporate database.
Name matching uses exact names, aliases, token overlap (Jaccard) and fuzzy trigram similarity, with country filters. Common corporate, geographic and industry terms are excluded from token comparisons. No name match with a score below 0.70 is retained.
74 active matches were found by name. The register’s score categories apply to both name matches and corporate relationships: Confirmed at 0.85 or above, Screening lead from 0.60 to below 0.85, and Under review below 0.60. Corporate relationships receive fixed scores of 0.90, 0.70 or 0.55 for high, medium or low confidence, respectively. These scores are not probabilities. The Ownership Investigator uses a separate minimum score of 0.90 for direct designation matches.
Corporate matching uses recorded affiliate chains and direct subsidiary links. A recorded chain can be extended by one relationship to a tracked parent, subsidiary, joint venture or affiliate. A separate subsidiary search starts from a name match and follows at most six links. There are 102 active matches between 101 designations and 10 organisations in the compute dataset. These matches do not establish ownership percentages or determine whether the same export restrictions apply. The Affiliates Rule is suspended through 9 November 2026; other Part 744 controls may still apply.
Cascade confidence: high, every link is a documented parent or subsidiary relation (58); medium, the chain includes a joint venture, affiliate or additional corporate relationship (44); low, stale or conflicting records, marked under review (0).
Example: Future Systems Pvt. Ltd. to Systems (Pakistan) (2 relationships, medium confidence; data vintage 2026-04-24).
The register export includes each chain’s relationships, sources and confidence grades. Names available only from licensed records are withheld.
