Related Controls: (1) See ECCNs 6E001 (“development”), 6E002 (“production”), and 6E201 (“use”) for technology for items controlled under this entry. (2) Also see ECCN 6A003.a.3 and a.4. (3) The act of incorporating a radiation hardened integrated circuit into a TV camera designated as EAR99 does not, in and of itself, cause the TV camera to meet the parameters of ECCN paragraph 6A203.d.
