Classify an export under the EAR before shipment
Practice the 15 CFR 732 order from export-compliance training. The freight is not tendered until ECCN, Country Chart, license exception or license, and denied-party screening are done.
- Determine whether the item is subject to the EAR.
- Classify the ECCN using the CCL order of review.
- Check the Commerce Country Chart for a license requirement.
- Screen end user, end use, and destination against the denied-party and embargo lists.
- Apply a license exception only if every condition is met; otherwise obtain the license.
- File EEI / AES as required and retain the five-year record.
- Do not ship on a verbal it's-just-software assumption.
