China has banned exports of dual-use goods to 10 US entities from 22 June 2026.

Measure announced on 22 June 2026

China's Ministry of Commerce added 10 US entities to its export control list on 22 June 2026, according to Reuters and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence . The measure bans exports of dual-use goods from China to the named companies, with immediate effect from 22 June 2026, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence . Reuters reports that China's Ministry of Commerce presented the measures as a response to malicious conduct by the US government and as a decision linked to national security, national interests and international non-proliferation obligations .

The list cited by the South China Morning Post includes Aveox, Red Cat Holdings, Teal Drones, IMSAR, Jaia Robotics, Ball Aerospace & Technologies, Oshkosh Defence, L3Harris Maritime Services, MP Materials and USA Rare Earth . Reuters quotes the ministry's statement as saying that "Relevant export activities that are being carried out should be stopped immediately" . Benchmark Mineral Intelligence describes the measure as entity-specific rather than a general restriction on rare earth exports to the United States . The same source says the regime converts earlier licensing controls into a full ban on exporting dual-use goods to the designated companies .

Ten US companies named.

The South China Morning Post cites ten US companies added to China's export control list: Aveox, Red Cat Holdings, Teal Drones, IMSAR, Jaia Robotics, Ball Aerospace & Technologies, Oshkosh Defence, L3Harris Maritime Services, MP Materials and USA Rare Earth . Reuters mentions MP Materials, USA Rare Earth and Aveox among the companies placed on the list .

Newsweek identifies MP Materials and USA Rare Earth among the US rare earth companies cited in the measure . Reuters states that MP Materials operates the only active rare earth mine in the United States and that MP Materials and USA Rare Earth both sit within the mine-to-magnet supply chain .

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence describes the other eight companies as linked to the defence industries . The South China Morning Post lists those eight companies as Aveox, Red Cat Holdings, Teal Drones, IMSAR, Jaia Robotics, Ball Aerospace & Technologies, Oshkosh Defence and L3Harris Maritime Services .

Grounds cited by Beijing.

Reuters reports that China's Ministry of Commerce presents the listing of the US entities as a response to the US government's "malicious conduct" . According to the agency, the ministry also links the measures to safeguarding China's national security and interests, as well as compliance with international obligations, including non-proliferation .

The South China Morning Post reports that Beijing links the decision to the expansion by the US Department of Defense of a list of Chinese companies described as tied to the Chinese military . CNBC says the Chinese measures followed the Pentagon's addition of several Chinese technology companies to a list of entities it considers to have assisted the Chinese military .

Newsweek refers, in its recap of the cited US measures, to the Pentagon's Section 1260H list covering Chinese companies linked to China's military modernisation . Reuters describes the Chinese measure as a full ban on exports of dual-use goods to the named companies, following an earlier export licensing regime .

Public procurement and documentary limits.

Reuters reports that a separate notice from China's Ministry of Finance targets 46 US companies and bars Chinese purchasers from buying products made by those companies . The agency also says that US-invested companies operating in China are not included in that public procurement ban .

CNBC reports, within the same scope, that China's Ministry of Finance excluded 46 US companies from public procurement projects . The source does not reproduce the full notice from China's Ministry of Finance in the extract available in the file .

The file available does not contain the reproduced official Chinese text from the Ministry of Commerce on the listing of the 10 US entities, nor the full Chinese notice from the Ministry of Finance . The Federal Register source included in the file concerns a Bureau of Industry and Security rule published on 16 September 2025 under reference 90 FR 44496 .
