US BISExport controlEntity List (15 CFR Part 744, Supplement No. 4) · 2019-10-09

A license is required to export US-origin items/technology to the entity, typically reviewed under a presumption of denial (e.g. BIS Entity List). It is not an asset freeze.

Added to the BIS Entity List as "Xiamen Meiya Pico Information Co. Ltd." under "China, People's Republic of," effective October 9, 2019, in connection with human-rights violations and abuses in the implementation of China's campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. License requirement: license required for all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), per Sec. 744.11. License review policy: case-by-case review for certain enumerated ECCNs (1A004.c, 1A004.d, 1A995, 1A999.a, 1D003, 2A983, 2D983, 2E983, and EAR99 items described in the Note to ECCN 1A995) and presumption of denial for all other items subject to the EAR. This is an export-control listing (a licensing restriction on U.S.-origin exports, reexports, and in-country transfers), NOT an asset-blocking sanction. Verified against the primary Federal Register text (84 FR, Oct. 9, 2019). Remains in force; no removal/delisting identified.

US Treasury (OFAC)Investment restrictionNon-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies (NS-CMIC) List (program tag CMIC-EO13959) · 2021-12-16

US persons are barred from buying or selling the company’s publicly traded securities. It is not an asset freeze or a ban on ordinary commercial trade (e.g. Treasury NS-CMIC List).

Added to OFAC's Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies (NS-CMIC) List on December 16, 2021 (listing date) as "XIAMEN MEIYA PICO INFORMATION CO., LTD."; the securities prohibition took effect February 14, 2022 (CMIC effective date). Action taken under Executive Order 13959 (as amended by Executive Order 14032). Effect: this is a securities-INVESTMENT restriction only - U.S. persons are prohibited from purchasing or selling publicly traded securities (or securities derivative of, or designed to provide investment exposure to such securities) of the listed company. It is an NS-CMIC (Non-SDN) listing, NOT an SDN/asset-blocking sanction; it does not block the entity's property or prohibit ordinary commercial dealings. OFAC Sanctions List Search shows Program "CMIC-EO13959," List: Non-SDN, ticker 300188 CN, listing date 16 Dec 2021, effective date 14 Feb 2022. Verified against the OFAC Sanctions List Search detail record (id 33896). Remains in force; no removal/delisting identified.

OFAC Sanctions List Search - Detail record id 33896 (XIAMEN MEIYA PICO INFORMATION CO., LTD.; Program CMIC-EO13959; Non-SDN)

No OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN/asset-blocking) designation was found for Meiya Pico; its OFAC presence is limited to the Non-SDN NS-CMIC investment-restriction list. No EU consolidated sanctions listing and no U.S. FCC Covered List entry were found for Meiya Pico. Both verified designations (BIS Entity List, Oct. 9, 2019; OFAC NS-CMIC, listed Dec. 16, 2021, prohibition effective Feb. 14, 2022) remain in force as of the research date; no removal/delisting was identified. Adversarial verification confirmed the BIS Entity List entry against the primary Federal Register text (84 FR, doc. 2019-22210), including the exact entity name, effective date, Xinjiang justification, license requirement, enumerated ECCNs, and presumption-of-denial policy. The OFAC NS-CMIC entry was confirmed against the OFAC Sanctions List Search detail record (id 33896), which shows the Non-SDN status, program CMIC-EO13959, ticker 300188 CN, listing date 16 Dec 2021, and effective date 14 Feb 2022. The Treasury/OFAC recent-actions press page for Dec. 16, 2021 corroborates the action but timed out on direct fetch; the OFAC Sanctions List Search detail record was used as the authoritative primary source. Note added on second-pass review: the NS-CMIC securities prohibition's effective date (14 Feb 2022) is distinct from and later than the 16 Dec 2021 listing/announcement date.

This dossier restates public government-designation records; it is not an allegation of wrongdoing by AI Analytics, and it publishes no customer-deployment claims or targeting data. A designation describes a specific legal action by a named authority — read its scope; an export control, an equipment-authorization restriction, and an asset-blocking sanction are not the same thing. To dispute or correct an entry, contact us (see the methodology). Status current as of the 2026-06-23 build — confirm against the linked primary source. Back to all vendors.
