Citizens might experience these changes through limited choices or availability of products from these companies.
Key points
Huawei and its affiliates will remain on the entity list for export controls unless the U.S. government certifies they pose no national security threat and are not controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
Honor Device Co. Ltd. will be added to the entity list for export controls within 180 days of the act's enactment.
The Department of Commerce will regularly report to Congress on all license applications for exporting items to Huawei and Honor Device, indicating approval or denial.
