What is an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and how do I get one?
ECCN stands for Export Control Classification Number. An ECCN is an alphanumeric classification used in the Commerce Control List (CCL) to identify items for export control purposes. All ECCN’s will have 5 characters, for example, 1A001, 4B994, or 9D001. There are 10 categories on the CCL. The first number of the ECCN identifies the category to which it belongs, for example, 1 = Nuclear Materials Facilities and Equipment, 4 = Computers, 9 = Propulsion Systems, Space Vehicles and Related Equipment. There is a process for determining the proper ECCN for your item. The Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) Office of Exporter Services have counselors available in Washington, DC Headquarters on (202) 482-4811 and in their Western Regional Office in California on (949) 660-0144 or (408) 998-8806 for guidance on determining your ECCN using the CCL. The CCL is found in Supplement 1 to Part 774 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and is available on-line at http://www.access.gpo.go
