What problem does it solve? Exporting dual-use items under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations requires navigating ECCN classification, Country Chart license analysis, license exceptions, and restricted party screening — a process where errors trigger civil penalties up to twice the transaction value or criminal prosecution. ## Core Features & Use Cases - ECCN Classification: Step-by-step jurisdiction determination (EAR vs ITAR order of review), CCL lookup across all 10 categories and 5 product groups, and EAR99 determination with citations to specific CFR sections. - License Analysis: Country Chart checks, all 14 license exceptions (LVS, GBS, CIV, TMP, RPL, GOV, TSU, ENC, and more), end-user/end-use controls, deemed export rules, FDPR, and de minimis thresholds. - Compliance Program Design: Seven-element ECP guidance, voluntary self-disclosure process, SNAP-R licensing workflow, recordkeeping rules, and enforcement penalty frameworks. - Use Case: A manufacturer shipping encryption software to Germany asks whether a license is needed; the skill classifies the item under 5D002, checks the Country Chart, and confirms License Exception ENC applies after a SNAP-R notification. ## Quick Start Ask the skill to classify your product under the EAR and determine whether a license is required for your destination country and end-user.

Frequently Asked Questions about ear

FAQPage Schema
How do I classify a product under the EAR and find its ECCN?

ECCN classification follows the order of review: first check the USML for ITAR jurisdiction, then confirm the item is subject to the EAR under § 734.3, then search the CCL in Part 774 by matching technical parameters. If no entry covers the item, it is designated EAR99.

What is the difference between EAR and ITAR export controls?

ITAR controls military items on the USML (22 CFR Part 121) through DDTC, while the EAR controls dual-use items through BIS. The mandatory order of review checks the USML first; ambiguous cases can be resolved with a Commodity Jurisdiction request to DDTC.

Does an EAR99 item ever require an export license?

EAR99 items require a license when destined for embargoed countries under Part 746, parties on the Entity List or Denied Persons List, or WMD end-uses under § 744.2-744.6. EAR99 is a classification, not a license exemption.

Which restricted party lists must be screened before exporting?

Screen all transaction parties against the BIS Entity List, Denied Persons List, Unverified List, and Military End-User List, plus the OFAC SDN List. The Consolidated Screening List at trade.gov covers BIS, State, and Treasury lists in one search.

When does the Foreign Direct Product Rule make foreign items subject to the EAR?

The FDPR applies when foreign-made items are direct products of US-origin NS or CB-controlled technology or software destined for Country Groups D:1 or E. Expanded rules cover Entity List parties, advanced computing for China, and virtually all items destined for Russia or Belarus.

What penalties apply for EAR violations?

Civil penalties reach the greater of an inflation-adjusted statutory maximum or twice the transaction value per violation, plus possible denial of export privileges. Willful violations can be referred for criminal prosecution with up to 20 years imprisonment for individuals.
