Sandvine Incorporated was ADDED to the Commerce/BIS Entity List effective Feb 27, 2024 (FR Doc 2024-03674), listed under the destinations Canada, India, Japan, Malaysia, Sweden, and the United Arab Emirates. Per the official BIS basis-for-listing, the addition was for supplying deep packet inspection technology to the Government of Egypt used in mass web-monitoring and censorship; the listing carried a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR with a license review policy of presumption of denial. This is an EXPORT-CONTROL listing, not an OFAC sanction. IMPORTANT: the listing was REMOVED effective Oct 23, 2024 (FR Doc 2024-24562, 89 FR 84460; removal announced by BIS Oct 21, 2024) following BIS-recognized corporate reforms, and is therefore NO LONGER an active designation — it is reported here only as a verified historical export-control listing.

Government designation status
No active designation on public record
As of the research date (June 2026) Sandvine / AppLogic Networks has NO ACTIVE US or EU designation on public record. The only government designation ever recorded — addition to the US BIS Entity List effective Feb 27, 2024 (FR Doc 2024-03674) — was officially REMOVED effective Oct 23, 2024 (FR Doc 2024-24562, 89 FR 84460; BIS press release Oct 21, 2024) after BIS recognized corporate reforms; it is reported above only as a verified historical export-control listing. No OFAC SDN sanction, no US Treasury NS-CMIC investment restriction (the company is Canadian/US-based, not a PRC military-industrial-complex entity, so NS-CMIC is inapplicable), and no FCC Covered List equipment-authorization restriction are on public record for this vendor. No customer/deployment claims beyond the official BIS basis-for-listing language are included, and no individual PII below corporate-officer level is reported.

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.
