About

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for advancing national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives through export controls on dual-use items and technologies. BIS regulates robotics and autonomous systems through export licensing requirements, implements national security reviews of emerging technologies including consumer and industrial robots, and enforces compliance with export administration regulations. The agency plays a critical role in restricting access to sensitive robotics technologies from countries of concern.
