  • An Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is a specific alpha-numeric code that identifies the level of export control for articles, technology and software (collectively, "Items") that are exported from member states of the Wassenaar Arrangement, including the United States. The ECCN classification that applies to any specific Item is determined by referring to a table that is issued by the Wassenaar Arrangement (http://www.wassenaar.org/) or, for the United States, by the Bureau of Industry and Security. See the Export Administration Regulations(EAR), codified at 15 C.F.R. 300 et seq.. The ECCN table contains hundreds of ECCN codes that are organized according to the technical parameters and/or end use of the hardware, software or technology that is being exported. In the U.S., the Bureau of Industry and Security allows private industry to self-classify exported items with the exception of certain items containing encryption functionality. In the case of encryption hardware/software, the US company would need to request a product classification ruling from the Bureau of Industry and Security. Although many different U.S. and foreign entities may be involved in manufacturing and distributing an item, ultimately it is the exporter or U.S. Principal Party in Interest ("USPPI") that is held responsible for the correct classification of any export and is required to ensure that all applicable export controls requirement are met prior to making the export. In the event an ECCN cannot be determined by the USPPI, technical information about the article can be submitted to the Bureau of Industry and Security and the ECCN will be determined and a ruling made. Please note** Munitions list articles and technologies fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of State and are controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). Jurisdiction for all articles and technologies must be properly determined prior to classifications being made to ensure that munitions list articles are not incorrectly classified as dual-use articles or technologies. Jurisdiction rulings can be obtained from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls(DDTC). US export laws are valid also for re-export of US products from any country, according to stipulations in the documentation from the Bureau of Industry and Security. Normally the assigned US ECCN code is valid also for re-export of US origin products from most countries in the world. However, it must be noted that if the product is exported from the US under certain license exceptions, i.e. NLR or LVS, the Wassenaar Arrangement do not have corresponding license exceptions. A product which can be exported from the US without an export license might well need one when re-exporting from an EU/Wassenaar country. (en)
  • Die ECCN (Abkürzung für Export Control Classification Number) ist eine US-amerikanische Kennzeichnung für Exportgüter. Die ECCN wird innerhalb der Commerce Control List (CCL) des Bureau of Industry and Security verwendet. Sie beginnt mit einer Ziffer 0-9, gefolgt von einem Buchstaben A-E. Daran schließen sich mehrere Ziffern und Buchstaben an. Anhand der Kennnummer und den Bestimmungen in der CCL kann ein Exporteur entscheiden, für welche Produkte für bestimmte Länder nach US-Recht Ausfuhrgenehmigungspflichten bestehen, also der US-Reexportkontrolle unterliegen.
