So, let’s clarify the differences between an Export Control Classification Number, or ECCN, and the U.S. Munitions List, or USML. First, you need to understand which government agency has jurisdiction over your products. Follow these steps to find out: 1. Check ITAR for USML Classification First, check the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or ITAR, to see if your product is on the USML. The U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Control, abbreviated DDTC, has a decision tool to help exporters review the USML. The USML lists defense articles and services specifically designed for military applications, lacking a predominant civil application. The USML is detailed in Chapter 22 of the Federal Regulations and is divided into 16 sections. If your product is on the USML, the State Department has jurisdiction, and you must register and apply for an export license through the DDTC. 2. Check EAR for CCL Classification Second, if your product isn’t on the USML, check the Export Administration Regulations, or EAR, to see if your product is on the Commerce Control List and has an ECCN. First look within the new 600 series entry under the specific category for your products. These are items that used to be on the USML but were moved to the CCL. Next, look at spacecraft-related items or what the USML refers to as the 9x515 ECCNs. If your item is not described in the 600 series codes or the 9x515 ECCNs, determine whether it falls within the catch-all paragraph of these classifications as parts, components, accessories or attachments specially designed for items in that specific ECCN. If your product is not listed in the two above, look in the CCL for dual-use items. ECCNs are five-character alphanumeric codes that identify dual-use items. The CCL is divided into 10 categories, each with five product groups. The first character of the ECCN denotes the category, while the second denotes the product group. If you’ve followed these steps and tried to self-classify, and you still have any questions or doubts, I’ll share a link above for a free trial of the Shipping Solutions Product Classification Software. It’ll make that classification process easier. And you can learn about this whole process in more detail in our free guide, “How to Determine if You Need an Export License.” Finally, remember that both of these classification systems are used for export control purposes as opposed to the Harmonized System codes used for customs-clearance purposes. *************** Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:07 USML or ECCN? 01:25 Check ITAR for USML Classification 02:09 Check EAR for CCL Classification 03:25 Product Classification Software *************** Make sure you subscribe to this channel for more practical advice for exporters and importers.    / @shippingsolutions   ************** #exportdocumentationsoftware #exportdocuments #usexportinghelp #usexportdocuments #shippingbillforexport #HS #HTS #ScheduleB #ProductClassification #ECCN #exportcodes #USML
