There are three ways to obtain an ECCN: 1. Contact the manufacturer, as they may know the ECCN of the item; 2. Self-classify the item by reviewing the Commerce Control List (CCL); or 3. Submit an official commodity classification request to BIS electronically using SNAP-R.

ECCNs are five character alpha-numeric designations used on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to identify dual-use items for export control purposes. An ECCN categorizes items based on the nature of the product, i.e. type of commodity, software, or technology and its respective technical parameters.

The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers U.S. laws, regulations and policies governing the export and reexport of commodities, software, and technology (collectively items) falling under the jurisdiction of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

The ECCN is an alpha-numeric code, e.g., 3A001, that describes the item and indicates licensing requirements. All ECCNs are listed in the Commerce Control List (CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR) which is available on the Government Printing Office website.

License requirements under the EAR are determined solely by the classification, end-use, end-user, ultimate destination, and conduct of U.S. persons.
