Design intent and any number of features can alter the way in which any item or information is controlled under the federal export control regulations. Here are just a few examples (note that these examples do not represent a final determination of licensing requirements - due to the rapidly changing poitical environment).
Amplifier Example
Amplifiers, depending on the strength and original design intent can be captured on the USML, CCL or be EAR99. For demonstrations purposes – classification information is from the Department of State Website Commodity Jurisdiction Determinations List
- USML XI(c): Three stage power amplifier capable of providing 16 watts of output power from 7.5 to 11.5 GHz
License required to ship anywhere
- ECCN 3A001.b.2.a: GaN MMIC power amplifier capable of providing 100 watts of output power from 3.1 to 3.5 GHz
License required for most destinations and limited license exceptions are available
- EAR 99: Operational Amplifier, quad, low noise
May be shipped to most destinations – except for Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria
Camera Example
Cameras, depending on the capabilities and original design intent can be captured on the USML, CCL or be EAR99. For demonstrations purposes – classification information is from FLIR.
