Anthropic Updates Supported Regions Policy Effective November 12

Anthropic has updated its Supported Regions Policy, which will take effect on November 12, 2026. The new policy expands restrictions on Claude services by incorporating user location, corporate registration, and equity control into its compliance criteria.

Key points

The policy applies to Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork, and Claude models accessed via APIs or cloud platforms, with all regions not on the official list considered unsupported.
Compliance is determined by three factors: the user's physical location, the company's place of registration or headquarters, and whether the entity is majority-owned or controlled by individuals or entities in unsupported regions.
Taiwan and Japan are currently on the supported list, while mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Russia are excluded.
The official policy outlines the scope of restrictions but does not disclose specific detection methods or account enforcement procedures.
The company has not provided details on how the policy applies to firms with international shareholders or cross-border employees, advising businesses to consult legal counsel or Anthropic directly.
