BIS promotes a strong defense–industrial base that can develop and provide technologies that will enable the United States to maintain its military superiority. BIS takes care to ensure that its regulations do not impose unreasonable restrictions on legitimate [[trade|international commercial activity]] that are necessary for the health of [[commerce|U.S. industry]].{{cn|date=September 2024}} | In addition to national security, BIS's function is to ensure the health of the U.S. economy and the competitiveness of U.S. industry.
