Two of the companies were Russian, the arms dealer Rosoboronexport and the aircraft maker Sukhoi.
Two other companies were from India, two from North Korea, and one from Cuba.
Russia's Foreign Ministry criticized the sanctions, calling them unacceptable.
The sanctions prohibit the U.S. government from dealing with any of the companies.
