Next Question

Are you shipping, hand carrying or transferring items on the Commerce Control List (CCL)(1) of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?

Note 1

The Commerce Control List (CCL) is maintained by the Bureau of Industry and Security (part of the US Department of Commerce) as part of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This list is sometimes called the "dual use" list, as the items on it may have either a military or commercial application.

Items on the Commerce Control List are generally designated by categories represented by the letters "A", "B", and "C" following the initial digit in an Export Control Commodity Number (ECCN). Examples are ECCNs such as 4A994, 5B001, and 1C351.

"A" category = Systems, Equipment and Components

"B" category = Test, Inspection and Production Equipment

"C" category = Materials

If you have questions as to whether your item is listed on the Commerce Control List, pease contact Dr. María Amador-Dumois, Interim Export Control Officer, Research and Development Center, at extension 5344 and via e-mail at exportcontrols@uprm.edu.
