【Issuing Authority】Bureau of Security and Control
【Document Number】Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology, No. 48, 2026
【Issuance Date】October 16, 2026

Pursuant to the *Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China* and the *Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Technology Import and Export*, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology plan to revise the *Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export of China*, adding part of technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence, biomedicine and photovoltaic. Upon approval, we hereby publicly solicit opinions from the whole society, and implement pre-export registration management for relevant technologies simultaneously.

I. Planned Revision Contents

This round of public consultation involves 40 technologies in three fields of artificial intelligence, biomedicine and photovoltaic. The artificial intelligence field covers 23 technologies related to large models, agents, computing power clusters and information processing; technologies that have entered the public domain through open source, academic paper publication and other approaches will not be included in the management scope. The biomedicine field includes 5 technologies related to cell and gene therapy, small nucleic acid drugs, and pathogenic microorganisms; convenient measures such as automatic licensing are applicable to external licensing modes that do not involve ownership transfer. The photovoltaic field includes 12 technologies related to polysilicon manufacturing, silicon wafer manufacturing and cell manufacturing; the technology management scope also covers key and core equipment carrying relevant technologies. The specific technical scope for public consultation and policy explanations are specified in Annex 1.

II. Feedback Methods for Soliciting Opinions

From October 16, 2026 to November 15, 2026, the public may put forward opinions on the scope of newly added technologies, indicators, control policies, convenient measures and other issues through the following channels:

1. E-mail: jinxianmulu@mofcom.gov.cn;

2. Fax: 010-65197565;

3. Letter: Bureau of Security and Control, Ministry of Commerce, No.2 East Chang'an Avenue, Beijing, Postcode: 100731.

When submitting opinions, please indicate the contact person, the affiliated entity and the contact information. Opinions submitted in the name of an entity shall be affixed with the official seal of the entity.

III. Pre-export Registration Requirements

(1) From the date of issuance of this Announcement to the date when the revised *Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export of China* is officially promulgated and implemented, before the technology export operators export the technologies listed in the annex to this Announcement, they shall complete the registration through the Technology Trade Management Information Application (https://ecomp.mofcom.gov.cn) on the Unified Platform of the Ministry of Commerce Business System. Exports that have started but not yet completed fall within the scope of registration.

(2) The export scenarios that require registration include:

1. Transfer of technology ownership to overseas parties, such as intellectual property rights transfer;

2. Licensing of domestic technologies for overseas use, such as licensing of intellectual property rights for use;

3. Change of the owner or actual controller of domestic technology to an overseas entity;

4. Other scenarios explicitly required for registration by the Ministry of Commerce in the form of notices and other forms.

(3) The registered information mainly includes: basic information of the technology export operator and the technology recipient, the destination country or region of export, the technology to be exported and its intended use, the estimated export amount of the technology, etc. (subject to the requirements of the Technology Trade Management Information Application on the Unified Platform of the Ministry of Commerce Business System, see Annex 2 for details). If multiple technologies are to be exported to the same technology recipient in one batch, the registration can be filled in in a combined way; for other scenarios, the registration shall be filled in separately in principle.
