Information

If your export is not subject to any other agency's jurisdiction, then the Department of Commerce (DOC) Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has licensing authority, and your export is subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Consult the Commerce Control List to determine whether your item has a specific Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). If your export does not have a specified ECCN, then it is considered EAR99. Note that it will be one of these two designations.

The following nuclear dual-use items and their respective ECCNs shown below are only a portion of those controlled for nuclear or nuclear-related activities:
