Commerce Corrects and Clarifies Various ECCNs
May 2008
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations to make technical corrections and clarifications after a review of the Commerce Control List. The rule will be effective April 18, 2008 and the BIS plans to publish another rule later this year to employ the second phase of corrections.
The rule revises “Related Controls” paragraphs found in the following Export Control Classification Numbers (“ECCNs”) by adding related controls references. BIS has even included related controls references in CCL entries to assist exporters in classifying items on the CCL and in some cases provide cross references for CCL items.
- 0A018
- 1A001, 1A003, 1A005
- 1C004, 1C006, 1C008, 1C009, 1C011, 1C012
- 1D001, 1D018
- 1E002
- 2A983
- 2B004, 2B005
- 2E101, 2E201
- 3A002
- 3B002
- 3B992
- 3D002
- 4D003
- 5E002
The new rule will also amend the “Unit” in following CCL entries in order to have the unit of measurement in the “unit” paragraph conform to that of standard quantities.
- 1B003
- 2B001, 2B003, 2B004
- 4A001, 4A003, 4A004
- 5B001
- 6A002, 6A004, 6A005
- 8A001
- 9A004
- 9B009
In 6D003, 8D001, and 8E001 the rule will remove the reference, “License Exceptions” section of each of these CCL entries that incorrectly referred to License Exception TSR for items under Missile Technology reasons. These three entries are not controlled for MT reasons, so the reference to restriction will be removed.
BIS says it also will be publishing certain advisory opinions and creating new web guidance to provide greater clarity to exporters and reexporters regarding existing provisions of the CCL.
