Guides to ECCN lookup and classification, EAR99, ITAR vs. EAR jurisdiction, encryption controls, licence requirements and sanctions screening, written for the people who have to get the answer right. New to classifying? Start with how to find the ECCN for your product or see how a classification works in the tool.
EAR Part 762 export recordkeeping requirements: which records to keep, the five-year retention rule in § 762.6, electronic records and how to organise them.
The foreign direct product rule (EAR § 734.9) brings a foreign-made item under the EAR when it meets both tests of one FDP rule. Each rule and how to test it.
Reexport vs export under the EAR: an export leaves the U.S., a reexport moves between foreign countries, and an in-country transfer changes end user or end use.
Export red flags are signs an item may be heading to a prohibited end use, end user or destination. The warning signs BIS expects you to spot and what to do.
HS code vs ECCN: HS, HTS and Schedule B codes classify goods for customs, while ECCNs control exports under the EAR. Why one can't be derived from the other.
How to find the ECCN for software under the EAR: check if it is published, read product group D, apply specially designed and encryption rules, or reach EAR99.
