US BIS Alleged Antiboycott Violations

U.S. companies alleged to have violated antiboycott regulations by supporting unsanctioned foreign boycotts, primarily the Arab League boycott of Israel.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) enforces antiboycott policies under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to prevent U.S. companies from participating in or supporting unsanctioned foreign boycotts. The primary focus is on the Arab League boycott of Israel.

This dataset lists U.S. companies that have allegedly violated antiboycott regulations and have been subject to enforcement actions. These violations typically involve responding to boycott-related requests, providing prohibited information, or agreeing to discriminatory terms in international transactions.

Related dataset: US Office of Antiboycott Compliance Requester List contains entities that requested U.S. companies to participate in unsanctioned boycotts (the requesters), while this dataset contains U.S. companies alleged to have complied with such requests (the violators).
