Here are\u00a0three different ways<\/strong> to determine if a product requires an export license.<\/span><\/h4>\n

1. Call the BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security).<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Make sure to have detailed product information ready and available before calling. The following is a list of questions you should be ready to answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

– What<\/i><\/b> are you exporting?
\n<\/span>– Where<\/i><\/b> are you exporting?
\n<\/span>– Who <\/i><\/b>will receive your item?
\n<\/span>– What<\/i><\/b> will your item be used for?<\/span><\/p>\n

Phone numbers:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

(949) 660\u20130144 – Western Regional Office (located in Irvine, CA)
\n<\/span><\/em>(408) 998-8806 – Northern California branch (located in San Jose, CA)
\n<\/span><\/em>(202) 482-4811 – Outreach and Educational Services Division (located in Washington, DC)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Submit a request on-line to BIS for a determination.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

BIS indicates this process should take roughly 30 days for a response. The request is made through the following website: <\/span>http:\/\/www.bis.doc.gov\/snap\/index.htm<\/span><\/a>. This is probably the safest method as you receive a formal response back from BIS. However it also takes the longest.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Try to make a determination yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is done by referencing the BIS website:\u00a0https:\/\/www.bis.doc.gov\/index.php\/regulations\/commerce-control-list-ccl. The key question is whether or not the item has an ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) code.<\/span><\/p>\n

License Exceptions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If a license is required for your transaction, a license exception may be available. License Exceptions, and the conditions on their use, are set forth in Part 740 of the EAR<\/a>. If your export is eligible for a license exception, you would use the designation of that license exception (e.g., LVS, GBS, TMP) on your export documents.<\/p>\n
