The Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act aims to enforce export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

The Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act seeks to establish export controls on specific semiconductor manufacturing equipment and components to safeguard U.S. national security. The act mandates that allied supplier countries adopt countrywide controls on covered semiconductor manufacturing equipment and licensing requirements for exports to covered facilities. It also requires the Secretary of Commerce to apply countrywide controls to U.S.-produced equipment and end-user restrictions to facilities in countries of concern.
