WASHINGTON—The U.S. Commerce Department said on April 10 that it is adding 37 Chinese companies and schools to a red-flag list of “unverified” entities that U.S. companies should treat with caution, according to a notice in the Federal Register.

The list, which takes effect on Thursday, also includes six organizations in Hong Kong, four in the United Arab Emirates, two in Malaysia and one in Indonesia.
