How long does the export license application process take?
Typically, it takes the U.S. government 6 to 8 weeks to complete their review process from the time the license application is submitted to the U.S. government. License applications that require additional interagency review may take longer to process. Cisco must verify the bonafides of all parties to the transaction, and all reorientation made by the customers. The 6 to 8 week average processing time does not begin when the sales order is booked or when the customer submits the License Data Submission Form it begins when Cisco submits the export license application to the U.S. government.
