Does the information under each ECCN listing in the CCL specify the countries that require an export license for the product?

The correct answer is that the information under each Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) listing in the Commerce Control List (CCL) does not specify the countries that require an export license for the product. Instead, ECCNs categorize items based solely on their technical data and control reasons rather than delineating specific licensing requirements based on destination country.

Countries are evaluated separately under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) in terms of their eligibility and the level of control associated with those countries. The licensing determination for exports to a specific country depends on various factors, including the nature of the item, its ECCN, and the end user's characteristics.

This ensures that exporters refer to multiple regulatory sources, including the EAR and specific country policies, to ascertain who may require a license for export, rather than relying solely on the information presented in the ECCN descriptions.
