Reason for Control:

NS, RS, AT, EI

Control(s) Country Chart (see Supp. No. 1 to part 738)

  • NS applies to entire entry NS Column 1.
  • RS applies to “software” controlled by 5D002.z.1.a, z.2.a, z.3.a, z.4.a, z.5.a, z.6.a, z.7.a, z.8.a, and z.9.a To or within any destination worldwide. See § 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(A) of the EAR.
  • RS applies to “software” controlled by 5D002.z.1.b, z.2.b, z.3.b, z.4.b, z.5.b, z.6.b, z.7.b, z.8.b, and z.9.b To or within the United Arab Emirates or destinations specified in Country Groups D:1, D:4, and D:5 of supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, excluding any destination also specified in Country Groups A:5 or A:6. See § 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(B) of the EAR.
  • AT applies to entire entry AT Column 1.
  • EI applies to “software” in 5D002.a.1, a.3, .b, c.1 and c.3, for commodities or “software” controlled for EI reasons in ECCN 5A002, 5A004 or 5D002 Refer to § 742.15 of the EAR. Note: Encryption software is controlled because of its functional capacity, and not because of any informational value of such software; such software is not accorded the same treatment under the EAR as other “software'; and for export licensing purposes, encryption software is treated under the EAR in the same manner as a commodity included in ECCN 5A002.

License Requirements

Note:

See § 744.17 of the EAR for additional license requirements for microprocessors having a processing speed of 5 GFLOPS or more and an arithmetic logic unit with an access width of 32 bit or more, including those incorporating “information security” functionality, and associated “software” and “technology” for the “production” or “development” of such microprocessors.

List Based License Exceptions (See Part 740 for a Description of All License Exceptions)

TSR: N/A

ENC: Yes for certain EI controlled software. See § 740.17 of the EAR for eligibility.

NAC/ACA: Yes, for 5D002.z.

AIA: Yes for 5D002.z.1.a, z.2.a, z.3.a, z.4.a, z.5.a, z.6.a, z.7.a, z.8.a, and z.9.a

ACM: Yes for 5D002.z

Note:

See § 740.2(a)(9)(ii) of the EAR for license exception restrictions for ECCN 5D002.z.
