The Bureau of Industry and Security has opened 2026 with an unmistakable signal: export control enforcement is escalating, and the semiconductor supply chain is squarely in its crosshairs. In a matter of months, BIS announced a landmark $252 million penalty against Applied Materials — the second-highest ever imposed by the agency — alongside settlements with Solventum, Exyte, Coastal PVA Technology, Teledyne FLIR, and others.

We will examine the specific facts, legal theories, and compliance failures underlying each case — and translate those lessons into practical guidance for export compliance teams operating in the semiconductor space and beyond.We will cover:
- A detailed walkthrough of the settlements: the facts, the violations, and BIS's enforcement rationale
- Compliance best practices: continuous screening, alias detection, license suspension protocols, and controls for routed export transactions
- BIS enforcement trends for 2026: What these cases collectively reveal about agency priorities, the breadth of Entity List obli...
