Bureau of Industry Security End-Use Check Performance Metrics

Performance.commerce.gov provides data on the Bureau of Industry Security's (BIS) end-use check program for dual-use exports. The dataset tracks annual targets and actual completions for pre-license checks and post-shipment verifications, with the latest update from March 2025. It measures BIS policy implementation efforts concerning key countries.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in 'Actual' versus 'Target' end-use check completions over 'Fiscal Year' to assess program performance.
• Compare 'Proximity' and 'Status' metrics to evaluate regional or country-specific enforcement efforts.
• Model future 'Target' values based on historical 'Fiscal Year' and 'Actual' completion rates for resource planning.

Strengths

• Data is structured with clear 'Fiscal Year' and 'Performance Indicator' columns for time-series analysis.
• Includes both planned ('Target') and achieved ('Actual') metrics for performance evaluation.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and sample size limit statistical reliability.
• Geographic scope ('Proximity') is ambiguous without sample data or documentation.
