Bureau of Industry and Security — Founded Date: 2001

contradicted95% confidence

1 evidence check

Last checked: 3/31/2026

The source text explicitly states in the 'Agency overview' section that BIS was 'Formed 2001', not 2002-04 as claimed. While the additional context mentions 'Established as BIS in 2002', the Wikipedia source directly contradicts this with a 2001 formation date. The claim specifies 2002-04 (April 2002), but the source clearly states 2001, which is a direct contradiction.
