A January 2026 BIS final rule shifts certain advanced AI chip exports to China from presumptive denial to case-by-case review, paired with expanded technical disclosures, third-party testing, and intensified end-user diligence. A parallel presidential proclamation imposes a 25% tariff on covered advanced chip imports intended for non-US customers, while Congress signals potential legislative tightening and China’s near-term import appetite remains uncertain.
The source describes an export-control regime that expands restrictions on advanced chips, SME, and supercomputing end-uses while introducing case-by-case licensing pathways for select high-performance AI chips. It also reports a January 2026 tariff mechanism designed to shape reexport routing and strengthen compliance oversight.
