Chip Export Controls Tracker

Who the United States blocks from its chips and technology, and how the rules on AI chips for China have changed since 2022: every entry on the Commerce Department's Entity List by country, a searchable history of Entity List rules, a search of the whole list, and what the rules have done to Nvidia's China business.

3,419

entries on the Entity List, 35% of them in China, Hong Kong or Macau (as of November 9, 2026)

1,186distinct entries with an address in China, Hong Kong or Macau, more than any other country

Oct 9, 2025the latest start date in the downloaded list; 181 currently listed entries have a 2025 start date

175Federal Register rules with the Entity List in the title, the latest on August 24, 2026

9.1%of Nvidia's fiscal 2026 revenue came from customers in China, down from 20.2% two years earlier, as the rest of the business grew far faster

Where the AI Chip Rules Stand

Most advanced chips (such as Nvidia's Blackwell): not licensed for China.
H200, AMD MI325X and similar: license applications reviewed case by case since January 15, 2026, with U.S. testing, buyer screening and volume conditions, and a 25% tariff as the chips pass through the U.S. Sales have been small, and China's government has restricted purchases.
H20 and earlier China versions: a license has been required since April 2025 (A100 and H100 since 2022, A800 and H800 since late 2023).
Companies on the Entity List: need a license for almost any U.S. technology. The rule extending that to companies majority-owned by listed ones is suspended until January 10, 2027.

As checked November 9, 2026. The full history is in The AI Chip Rules for China below.

01The Entity List by Country

The countries with the most entries on the list. An entry with addresses in more than one country is counted in each, so the bars add up to more than the total. Many Chinese entries also list a Hong Kong address: China and Hong Kong together come to 1,186 distinct entries (with Macau), not the sum of the two bars. The list covers far more than chips: it also holds suppliers to Russia's and Iran's militaries, nuclear and missile programs and companies that helped others get around U.S. rules. For the Treasury's separate sanctions list, see the Sanctions Tracker.

02When They Were Added

The entries now on the list, by the year they were added, with China, Hong Kong and Macau shown separately. Entries that have since been removed are not counted, so earlier years look smaller than they were at the time. The pace picked up after 2018, when Huawei and ZTE made China the focus.

04Entity List Rules in the Federal Register

Every Bureau of Industry and Security rule with the Entity List in its title, newest first. Most of them add or remove entries; a few mainly change other lists or the rules for listing. The added and removed columns count Entity List changes only, read from the rule's own summary, and are left blank where the summary does not give an Entity List figure (for example where the numbers it gives are for the Unverified List).

05The AI Chip Rules for China, 2022 to Now

Alongside the Entity List, the U.S. controls the chips themselves. These are the steps that decided what Nvidia and AMD can sell to China. The pattern is a ratchet with loosening in between: each rule lowered the performance limit, chipmakers designed new versions just under it, and the next rule caught those too, until 2025 and 2026 brought licensed sales with a cut for the government.

August 26, 2022	Nvidia is told it needs a U.S. license to sell its A100 and H100 data center chips to China, including Hong Kong. Timeline
October 7, 2022	The Commerce Department's first broad rule on advanced computing chips and chipmaking equipment for China (published October 13, 87 FR 62186). Federal Register
October 17, 2023	New performance thresholds catch the cut-down chips made for China, including Nvidia's A800 and H800 (published October 25, 88 FR 73458). Federal Register
December 2, 2024	Controls on high-bandwidth memory and more chipmaking tools, with 140 companies added to the Entity List (published December 5). Federal Register
January 13, 2025	The AI Diffusion rule sorts the world into three tiers with different limits on advanced chips. It takes effect January 13 (published January 15), with most of its requirements due from May 15. Federal Register
April 9, 2025	Nvidia's H20, the chip it designed to meet the earlier limits, now needs a license for China. Nvidia later took a $4.5 billion charge for it. Nvidia 10-K
May 13, 2025	Two days before the May 15 compliance date, Commerce says it will not enforce the AI Diffusion rule and will rescind it, so the three tiers never bite. Timeline
August 2025	Licenses are granted for some H20 sales to China, with officials saying 15% of the revenue would go to the U.S. government; no rule was published, and Beijing then discouraged the purchases. Timeline
September 30, 2025	Entity List restrictions are extended to any company at least 50% owned by listed companies (the affiliates rule). Federal Register
November 10, 2025	The affiliates rule is suspended for a year after the U.S.-China trade truce; in November 2026 the suspension is extended to January 10, 2027. Federal Register (2025 suspension); Federal Register (2026 extension)
December 8, 2025	President Trump says Nvidia's H200 can be sold to approved customers in China, with 25% of the money going to the United States. Timeline
January 13, 2026	Commerce announces that license applications for the H200, AMD's MI325X and similar chips to China will move from a presumption of denial to case by case; with U.S. testing, buyer screening and volume conditions. The rule takes effect January 15, and a 25% tariff applies to the chips as they pass through the U.S. Federal Register
February 26, 2026	Nvidia gets its first license for a small amount of H200 exports to China. Bloomberg
August 26, 2026	Nvidia reports that China's government has restricted purchases of the licensed H200. Nvidia 10-Q
October 29, 2026	The New York Times reports that U.S. officials suspect an executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore data center company that bought billions of dollars of Nvidia hardware, of working for Chinese intelligence; Commerce had already been examining whether Megaspeed helped Chinese firms get around the rules.

06What It Has Done to Nvidia's China Business

Nvidia's revenue by where its customers are headquartered. Two different things happened. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025, China and Hong Kong revenue roughly doubled, to $25.0 billion, but the rest of the business grew even faster, so China's share slipped from 20.2% to 19.2%. From fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026, after the H20 needed a license, China revenue fell about 21% to $19.7 billion while total revenue grew 65%, so the share halved to 9.1%. Over the two years China revenue is still up about 60%; it is the share that collapsed. Since late 2025 Nvidia has counted revenue by customer headquarters rather than billing address, and it has restated earlier years that way, so these figures will not match older reports that showed a large Singapore line. For the company's founder, see Jensen Huang's net worth; for who owns the stock, see Institutional Ownership.

Fiscal year	United States	Taiwan	China and Hong Kong	Other	Total	China share
FY2024	$31,533	$14,912	$12,330	$2,147	$60,922	20.2%
FY2025	$77,482	$23,600	$25,048	$4,367	$130,497	19.2%
FY2026	$149,617	$42,345	$19,677	$4,299	$215,938	9.1%

$ millions. Nvidia's fiscal year ends in late January, so fiscal 2026 is roughly calendar 2025. Recent quarters, China and Hong Kong: Quarter to Oct 2025 $2,973M of $57,006M (5.2%); Quarter to Apr 2026 $4,550M of $81,615M (5.6%); Quarter to Jul 2026 $7,880M of $96,221M (8.2%). Headquarters is not where the chips are used: Nvidia says it cannot see all of that, which is why the Megaspeed case and other reports of chips reaching China through Southeast Asia matter.

07How This Page Works and What It Leaves Out

Entity List. Each week the page reads the International Trade Administration's Consolidated Screening List, which carries every Entity List entry with its addresses, the Federal Register notice that listed it and its start date. Countries come from the addresses. The official list is Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations; when the two differ, the regulation governs, and the screening list can trail a new rule by a few days.

Rules. The rule list comes from the Federal Register's own search of Bureau of Industry and Security rules with the Entity List in the title. The added and removed counts are read from each rule's summary; some rules count entities and some count entries or addresses, so the yearly totals are a guide, not an exact count.

Left out: the Treasury's SDN list (see the Sanctions Tracker), the Unverified List and Military End-User List, the detailed technical thresholds for chips and chipmaking tools, other countries' export rules, and tariffs on imports (see the U.S. Tariff Calculator). This page is a guide to public records, not legal advice on whether a shipment needs a license.

Entity List data as of November 9, 2026; page data rebuilt November 9, 2026. Chip rules and Nvidia figures checked November 9, 2026.

08Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Entity List?

A list kept by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security of companies, research institutes, government bodies and people outside the United States that need a special license before they can receive U.S. goods, software or technology covered by export rules. For most entries the license is presumed to be denied. Being listed is not a sanction on the company's money the way the Treasury's SDN list is; it controls what can be shipped to it.

Why are so many entries in China?

Since 2018, most additions have been Chinese companies tied to military work, surveillance, supercomputers and chipmaking, including Huawei and its affiliates, SMIC and a long list of AI chip designers. Russia is the other big source, after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Entries in Hong Kong and Macau are counted with China here because the export rules treat them as China.

Can Nvidia sell chips to China?

Only with a license for its data center chips. The A100 and H100 have needed one since 2022, the China versions A800 and H800 since late 2023 and the H20 since April 2025. Since January 15, 2026, license applications for the H200 and similar chips are reviewed case by case, with conditions, instead of being presumed denied, and a 25% tariff applies as they pass through the U.S. China's government has also discouraged or restricted purchases, so licensed sales have been small. The most advanced chips, such as Blackwell, are not eligible.

How much of Nvidia's revenue comes from China?

In fiscal 2026 (the year to January 2026), customers headquartered in China and Hong Kong accounted for $19.7 billion, or 9.1% of revenue, down from 19.2% the year before and 20.2% in fiscal 2024. Nvidia counts revenue by where the customer is headquartered, not where the chips end up, so it cannot show how much reaches China through other countries.

What was the AI Diffusion rule?

A rule issued in January 2025 that would have split the world into three tiers: close allies with few limits, most countries with caps on how many advanced chips they could import, and arms-embargoed countries such as China with near bans. It took effect on January 13, 2025, but most of its requirements were not due until May 15; on May 13 Commerce said it would not enforce the rule and would rescind it, and no tier system replaced it.

How often does this page update?

The Entity List counts, the search and the rule list rebuild every week from the International Trade Administration's Consolidated Screening List and the Federal Register. The screening list can lag a new rule by a few days. The chip rules timeline and Nvidia's figures are updated by hand when a rule or a filing changes them.
