To determine export control jurisdiction, you must evaluate whether your item is defense-related or dual-use. ITAR covers defense articles and services, while EAR regulates commercial items and dual-use technologies with military applications.

Classifying an encryption product under EAR involves reviewing the Commerce Control List to identify the correct Export Control Classification Number. You must assess encryption strength, functionality, and end-use to determine licensing obligations before export.

Jurisdiction determination for dual-use technology involves assessing the product's military and commercial applications. You evaluate technical specifications against ITAR's United States Munitions List and EAR's Commerce Control List to identify the controlling regulation.

Export license requirements for commercial encryption items depend on the encryption strength, destination country, end-user, and end-use. You must classify the item under EAR and review the Country Chart and License Requirements matrix to confirm.

US export compliance requires adherence to specific data residency regulations and encryption standards. These rules dictate how controlled technical data is stored, transmitted, and accessed internationally to prevent unauthorized export of regulated technology.

Automated export control classification should not be the sole method when dealing with complex dual-use items or novel encryption technologies. Jurisdiction determinations for borderline defense articles require expert regulatory review to avoid severe compliance violations.
