In order to determine if you need an export license, * Ensure that your export is under U.S. Department of Commerce jurisdiction.* Classify your item by reviewing the Commerce Control List. * If your item is classified by an Export Control Classification Number ECCN,identify the Reasons for Control on the Commerce Control List. * Cross-reference the ECCN Controls against the Commerce Country Chart to see if a license is required. If yes, determine if a License Exception is available before applying for a license. * Ensure that no proscribed end-users or end-uses are involved with your export transaction. If proscribed end-users or end-uses are involved, determine if you can proceed with the transaction or must apply for a license.* Export your item using the correct ECCN and the appropriate symbol (e.g., NLR, license exception, or license number and expiration date) on your export documentation (e.g., Shipper’s Export Declaration).
