On May 29, 2026, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a final rule restricting the import and sale of certain connected vehicles (CV) and related technologies linked to China and Russia. This rule, effective since March 17, 2025, was implemented due to national security concerns that these countries could access or control connected vehicles in the U.S. The regulation specifically targets vehicles under 10,001 pounds and requires importers and manufacturers to submit annual Declarations of Conformity if not engaging in prohibited transactions. The BIS's actions reflect ongoing tensions regarding cybersecurity and supply chain vulnerabilities associated with foreign technologies.

Key Points: • BIS prohibits imports of connected vehicles linked to China and Russia due to security risks. • The rule affects vehicles under 10,001 pounds and requires annual compliance declarations. • The regulation aims to mitigate potential remote access threats to U.S. connected vehicles.
